“I truly loved my experience with BGCAA! Initially, my career interest did not cross paths with the non-profit world, but sometimes really great opportunities knock and I couldn’t pass up this one up. Thankfully, now I’ve developed an open mindset professionally and am not just set on one area of interest. During my time at BGCAA, I worked amongst professionals who were very courteous, knowledgeable about what they were doing and most importantly passionate behind the mission the Boys & Girls Clubs organization supports. This type of insightful environment and friendly culture I experienced with BGCAA is extremely difficult to find in the workforce, and ‘til this day throughout my multiple internships and job opportunities, interning at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area has been indubitably my favorite professional experience for a multitude of reasons.” Joshua C., Summer 2017 BGCAA Fellow
