Careers

As an STF intern, I got to work with an incredible team from different parts of the world. I learned what it means to truly put girls at the center of all programming as well as decision-making. The exposure I got has enabled me to define, with clarity, what I want to do. Moving forward, all the lessons I am taking with me will enable me to be better as a person, leader, and girl champion!

My time at She’s the First helped me gain valuable practice in the fields of digital content creation, event organization, and professional networking. I was able to feel like I was really pursuing important change with every project I worked on, and I was given the freedom to implement my own ideas and style into the work I was doing. The unique office relationships and intern experience contribute to the unconditional network of support that STF fosters, and it is amazing to witness the true sense of female empowerment this organization inspires every day.

"It was very meaningful to know that the more I learned about and grappled with issues facing women today, the more other students like me would be able to learn about these topics. I soon discovered that the internship position itself is designed to empower us. By giving us creative freedom, the She's the First staff demonstrated their faith in our abilities and gave us tangible career advice and skills to allow for our further growth.”

Thanks to my experience, I now have a deeper understanding of the problems girls face. Coming from a community that still tackles issues of early marriages and girls being denied the right to education, I'm grateful and humbled to have been a part of a platform that uplifts girls' status, defends their rights in education, and offers a better and equal future because it gives hope that this challenge will be overcome. With this great experience, I will carry my knowledge forward and stand for the rights of girls and women in my community and beyond to the best of my ability.

The thing that I liked most about my experience at She’s the First was that I was treated as part of the team and everyone—through their actions and words had my best interests at heart. My time at She's the First helped me confirm that a healthy and peaceful working environment makes one more productive and generally helps that person to grow and become a better person.

The time I’ve spent interning at She’s the First has been the epitome of learning and realization. Every week, I looked forward to coming into the office. There have been countless moments where I’ve been reminded that there is so much more to this world than my immediate surroundings, and the team at She’s the First never failed at reminding me of that.
