My role within the non-profit organization is being part of the Strategic Engagement Department which is responsible for content creation for the Unity for Equality social media pages. Content creation like creating Instagram stories for public holidays the organization wants to acknowledge. Or the organization needs a social media post about an upcoming event on their Facebook or Instagram account. My supervisor for the Strategic Engagement Department is Jennifer Vazquez.

I came across this internship from a friend that took their internship with this organization over the summer. My friend enjoyed her internship with Unity for Equality over the summer and recommended the organization to me. She provided me with the name of the founder and his email address. I contact him through email and message him that I am a student at CUNY City Tech and I was looking for an internship. Within the email, I provided my name, contact, my school information, and my resume.

A few days later I got a message from Neil Trivedi saying he wants to set up a time for a phone interview. During the phone interview, he explained who he was and talk about the organization’s history, mission, staff, and about their internship. He talks about the expectations and my role as an intern at the organization. He asked where I was living, what I was studying, what college I am attending, who my instructor for this internship class was, and how did I find the organization. The whole interview took about 40 minutes.


There were five tasks I needed to complete in order to get the internship. A cover letter, a professional picture, a basic information sheet, any school paperwork he needs to fill out, and a bio with a minimum of 2 paragraphs on how I want my work to impact the community and world.

This is their official Instagram social media page and the second picture is their current posts. My job is to create social media posts for the organization’s upcoming events and holidays. The second image with the black circle was a post I designed and created for the organization. I will talk about it more in my other blog post about self-evaluation.
