Internship


FALL 2008 INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, I would like to thank to Niagara Foundation for giving me the opportunity to become their intern. The people at Niagara Foundation are very friendly and helpful. They encourage me to gain more experience while I am working with the Associate Director who's so choosy and fussy man :) Life at the Niagara Foundation is sweet and lovely. I wish that everybody had a chance to be an intern at the Niagara Foundation.

My internship at Niagara Foundation has opened up a new horizon for me. I'm especially thankful to Mr. Guclu Koseli, our Multimedia Director. I'm learning new things from him everyday. We share lots of views and ideas. I'm also very grateful to Mr. Cinar, our Associate Director, who welcome me as a family member. Even after working in India for six years in publishing, multimedia and broadcast design, I still feel like I have a long way to go. It is wonderful to be part of a non-profit organization that promotes unity in diversity to build a stronger community.

I find my internship at Niagara Foundation to be very interesting because I was able to work with people of different backgrounds of knowledge, skills, and mostly ethnicities. Niagara is a very friendly and joyful place to work. I was able to use the knowledge that I gained from college to perform my duties as an Interfaith Dialogue Intern. I have gained valuable experience of working in the corporate world and hope to use it in my career ahead of me. I want to thank everyone at Niagara for giving me this opportunity to be a part of their group.

I am so grateful to the Niagara Foundation for giving me the opportunity to work as an intern here. I have learned quite a bit about how a multimedia professional operates, and this will help me in my future. The work that the Niagara Foundation does is tremendous and I feel good about myself for contributing as much as I can. The environment here is friendly and promotes personal development. Also the diversity is great, and we all learn a little bit about each other every day.

Being an intern at Niagara Foundation allows me hone my professionalism, play with my creativity, and challenge my networking skills. I am privileged to work with kind, hardworking people who are eager to share their knowledge and their friendships. Each and everyday I am proud to be apart of an organization that encourages the good in people and promotes the wellbeing of our society.

Since my start at Niagara Foundation, I have grown Immensely.  I have been able to have an internship, in the world renowned city of Chicago, that has shown me that the world can tolerate, respect, and one day, understand each other.  I am so proud to be a part of the Niagara family and have met soo many people that want to make a difference in our beautiful world. The people I work with are amazing at what they do.  everyday I learn something new from them, and most importantly, I enjoy my job.  I look forward to promoting tolerance, understanding and global fellowship as a part of the Niagara Foundation and want to thank them for giving me this opportunity.
