Our Interns

Justin Cho

Having the chance to intern at JCCHOMES has been a pleasure. I have been able to learn a lot about nonprofits and the impact they provide on our community. As a Funding Research intern, I was able to learn about grants and the tedious but fulfilling process of getting the funding needed to help JCHHOMES set up giveaways and prevent home evictions. It has been an invaluable experience to work with a group of passionate people like Junie Clauther and the local community leaders to support the underserved in Queens.

JCHHOMES has shown me what it means to give back to others. Throughout everyday life, it is hard to remember to be grateful for everything we are given. Working with JCHHOMES has been an experience that has opened my eyes to ways I can help others. I enjoyed working alongside everyone on the board and the other intern. Everyone was welcoming, which has helped me feel more comfortable with learning about new things. Attending the events and being part of the work they do makes me appreciate and admire those at JCHHOMES who go out of their way to help others. I have enjoyed being with this non-profit organization and being given a chance to push myself to think outside of the box with my creativity.

Working for JCHHOMES is a memorable experience. I work with people, who are not only there to coach you, but to make sure you succeed. Being in the marketing and social media department has helped me expand professionally as an intern. I’m learning how to promote and strategize ways for JCHHOMES to gain recognition from our community. I am honored to have the opportunity to grow professionally in an organization that help those in need.
