"Being an intern at YES! has been a definite highlight of my post-college wanderings. I came into this internship with a desire to feel inspired by my work, as well as wanting to gain some tangible work experience. At the end of my time here, I can say that I’ve been happily satisfied on all fronts.

As an intern, office life at YES! is never dull. You work with an interesting, caring and involved staff, and are treated as an integral part of the community. Working here has been a wonderful experience that provided me with a nurturing environment in which to learn many new skills.

I now feel confident about going out into the world outside of YES!, and putting my new found knowledge to use. I can only hope that working at such a special place has not ruined me for future office jobs!"
—Justine, Online Editorial Intern (May-Oct 2007)
