This summer I am working at an amazing organization called Project: Think Different. This is a non profit company in which they want to change the way society views the media. The organization focuses on promoting socially conscious artists so they will be able to become mainstream musicians. Not only are they helping the media they are also helping local Boston youth. The company is affiliated with the Boston Summer Scholars program in which about 500 kids from the Boston area are given internships with non profit organizations. These children are being paid by grants from the government to help out with their income situations considering many come from impoverished areas. I have worked one on one with the youth to help them understand what the organization is about and to help them research various topics. I also write press releases and emails and set up meetings. I have really grown to understand the industry and all the work and effort that goes into promoting one company. It is very hard to get publicity for a small and upcoming company. This internship has been a great experience for me to understand what it is like to work in a professional environment.
