What Our Interns Are Saying
“My experience working at Sullivan 180 was both challenging and rewarding. Since this was my first job, it was challenging to give up free time during the summer and to complete physical tasks in the hot weather. However, those challenges were outweighed by the many rewards I received through this position. Throughout the internship, it was especially rewarding to drive by the gardens my supervisor and I worked hard on and see the impact of our efforts. It was also rewarding to build my communication and time management skills through weekly meetings.”
— Olivia Counts, 2025 Sullivan 180 Intern, Town of Lumberland Parks & Recreation
“I wanted to gain experience and be part of something greater, and I’m proud to say that I believe I made a difference. That sense of fulfillment is something that truly makes me happy. I recommend that others consider interning with Sullivan 180. It’s a chance to give back to your community while gaining valuable skills and experiences.”
— Howie Kiefer, 2024 & 2025 Sullivan 180 Intern, Town of Bethel
“My internship with Sullivan 180 was enlightening and an opportunity that helped me grow. Through weekly meetings and activities, I learned more about how to make an impact in the community. I was also introduced to skills like communication and leadership that will help me in future jobs and projects. This internship really helped me live out one of my favorite sayings, ‘Think global, act local.’ Working in my community to restore and maintain gardens makes a positive impact, which is why I recommend this internship to any young person.”
