HAPPY MONDAY MAYORS!
I hope everyone is staying healthy through these uncertain times! I wanted to share some opportunities looking forward to summer internships! Last summer I had the opportunity to work with Penn's Village (not associated with UPenn), a volunteer-based organization addressing aging in place in central Philadelphia, as a Marketing/Communications Intern, and they are looking for 2 different positions for this coming summer!
I wanted to share for any Mayor looking for summer opportunities, specifically if you wanted to stay in the city! Below are the details for both positions, and I am more than happy to answer any questions about Penn's Village. I met wonderful people working with PV and I hope others can have similar experiences with them!
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you all again in the fall!
