This summer, NAC welcomed Claire, a Junior at Pomona College studying Public Policy Analysis, as a Development Intern. While with us, Claire was instrumental in strategizing, drafting, and submitting two important grant proposals to help NAC expand its services to refugee and immigrant families. She also helped create a survey to help NAC better understand and support client families’ needs and aspirations. Her internship was generously funded by the Kolibri Internship Program and administered by Pomona College Internship Program (PCIP). Claire is continuing to help NAC grow in its capacity to serve newcomer families this fall through funding opportunities. She recently attended the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) Western Region Conference, where she had the opportunity to hear presentations from and network with professionals in the business development field, and is looking forward to applying what she learned to this internship. NAC is grateful for our continued partnership with Pomona College and the hard work of all our college interns!
