INTERN EXPERIENCES
“The most unique thing about Eden House is the sense of community. The full-time staff is small, but the house runs because the staff works so tirelessly for these women, and everything that happens at the house is rooted in love. Interning at Eden House has helped make me acutely aware of my privileges in a way that I simply haven’t been able to in a classroom, academic setting. I’m inspired everyday by the residents and their hard work, and the efforts of the staff helping them get back on their feet. Even though the summer certainly did not turn out the way any of us expected [due to COVID-19], I’m thankful that my university experience was framed by my work at Eden House.”

“Interning at Eden House was one of the most impactful experiences of my early career. During the year I spent at Eden House I learned many useful skills and gained a better understanding of the inner workings of a non-profit. Eden House is unique in the way it exists on the frontlines of human trafficking and sexual exploitation by providing intensive rehabilitation as well as legislative advocacy. I think one of the most empowering things I experienced was being in an environment where women were helping women. Truly, the best part of the experience was building relationships with those who live and work in Eden House.”
