In the summer of 2024, Evelyn and Joseph embarked on an enriching internship at the office of NYS Assemblyman Ron Kim, fully immersing themselves in the world of American public service. Both interns adapted swiftly to the American lifestyle, embracing cultural and culinary experiences while gaining valuable insights into legislative processes. The dynamic work environment balanced professionalism with casual interactions, fostering a space where they could grow both personally and professionally.
Throughout their internship, Evelyn and Joseph were entrusted with significant responsibilities, enhancing their understanding of the office’s role within the community. They honed their communication skills by interacting with various institutions on constituent cases and engaging in meaningful dialogue with community members. Mentorship from experienced staff members helped deepen their knowledge of housing policies and improved their ability to assist constituents confidently and professionally.
Their involvement in initiatives like the free tax assistance program for low-income households and attending press conferences and community events further expanded their practical skills and interest areas. Evelyn and Joseph left the internship with a profound appreciation for public service, a clear vision for their future careers, and a strong network of professional relationships. They recommend future interns to be proactive, stay informed on current events, and continuously seek opportunities for learning and growth.
