My internship with Adelante Abroad was a great first internship experience. They are extremely helpful with pairing you with an internship experience that aligns with your interests as well as with your values. With my internship, I was able to learn and achieve the goals I set for myself. This was what really my experience worth while.

Adelante also helps to provide an essential structure to this internship, defining the number of work hours, the assigned tasks and expectations.
