In their words:<\/span><\/h4>\n
\u201cInterning with ESYNOLA solidified my interest in food security in communities of color, and also led me to work for another program that tackles social issues. I would definitely say ESYNOLA gave me a strong professional start.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my entire time as intern, I was provided with a safe and stimulating space to learn about gardening, education, and nonprofits. I was provided the time and opportunity to develop skills I’ve always dreamed of having. There is nothing like learning how to grow your own food while witnessing children all around you learn how to do the same. It was grounding, humbling, and inspiring.\u201d <\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cInterning with ESYNOLA exposed me to an amazing model school garden\/cooking program. The experience motivated me to bring similar programs to schools in my home community. In my current role as a FoodCorps service member, I am constantly looking to ESYNOLA\u2019s program for inspiration.\u201d <\/span><\/h6>\n

\u201cESYNOLA improved my ability to translate food and nutrition knowledge into active programming for kids. It also increased my confidence in leading educational lessons and working in dynamic environments.\u201d <\/span><\/h6>\n
