From an intern working at My Hero Project:

I applied for the Humanities Internship Program because I used to think that jobs available to humanities majors were limited, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a job.  The process of matching me with a company was somewhat rocky; the first company fell through, but I was finally placed with a non-profit organization called The MY HERO Project.  At first I was skeptical about what I, as a literary journalism major, could bring to a completely web-based educational project.  As I started to work, I was shocked at how much I relied on my humanities skills.  The MY HERO Project is a web project that celebrates the best of humanity, in which people from around the world submit media about their heroes.   Through working with them, I have learned about and met so many amazing, inspirational people.  Every day that I work there and read or write stories about people working towards positive change is eye-opening and uplifting. 

My experience at The MY HERO Project has been exceptionally rewarding, and has helped me learn what I want for my future.  The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, and they are extremely flexible when it comes to managing work around my school schedule.  My internship has been the best experience working that I could have asked for, and I highly recommend the Humanities Internship Program to any humanities student looking for a job or internship.
