Ever wondered what it’s really like to intern at a nonprofit making a global impact? As the first-ever intern at Village Reach, I had a front-row seat to the amazing work this organization does and the chance to help shape its internship program for future students. From planning a fundraising trivia night to attending meetings with Dreamers around the world, this experience was as inspiring as it was educational. In this post, I’m sharing everything I learned about nonprofit work, personal growth, and finding my path after graduation.

Did you know that giving monthly can create a bigger impact than a one-time donation? Recurring donations provide nonprofits with the stability to sustain programs, expand to new locations, and plan for long-term change. But they also benefit you—offering convenience, deeper connection, and a way to maximize your giving over time.

At Village Reach, monthly donors help us retain our dreamers, support communities in Cambodia, India, and Colombia, and pursue new opportunities to serve. Whether you're an individual or a business looking to give, consistent giving fuels real transformation. Ready to make a lasting difference? Learn why recurring giving is one of the most powerful ways to support a cause you believe in.
