Brooklyn Navy Yard

I’m currently interning at Brooklyn Navy Yard. brooklyn navy yard is one is the biggest nonprofit organization in new york city. It’s a public nonprofit company that runs with the money from New York City budget funding however they act freely of the NYC government. Brooklyn Navy yard acts free of their own. They have created about 16,000 jobs within the navy yard in the last 12 years and aim to create more jobs for the people in new york city to help to end the wage gap. The navy yard was a United States military navy base built in 1801. After World War II,  the military abandoned the shipyard at 1966 and New York City government decided to purchases the yard from the U.S. military. I’m currently interning at Brooklyn Navy Yard’s external affairs department.  In the external affairs department, I mostly work with the junior graphic designer and design flyers, posters to promote future events and other gatherings that take place in the navy yard. Besides that, I also help out with the office works such as answering phone calls, making phone calls, running errands for the office or the employment center etc.
