"Interning with BRWIA allowed me to give back to my community while also learning incredible business/non-profit management skills! I would recommend this internship to anybody, this is such an incredible organization." ​

"After I graduated college, I didn't really know what I wanted to do in the world. I chose to intern with BRWIA over the summer because I knew that I wanted to be involved with local farms and food, but I didn't know where to begin, what that meant, or what avenue I wanted to pursue. Being the communications intern for the summer meant that I got to learn about the full scope of projects that BRWIA is involved with and learn what specifically piqued my interest. Promoting our events gave me the opportunity to research everyone we partner with and really allowed me to understand how much BRWIA truly does here in the High Country. I'm sad to be leaving Boone after getting to know so much about the community, but I'm looking forward to taking my skills to the piedmont and learning more about the local food movement there"

"Interning with BRWIA I have been given a multifaceted opportunity into how the non profit world operates. BRWIA does so much for our community and I really have learned so much through each of the programs that I have worked with. I have more direction on what I want to personally and professionally pursue then I did before my internship."​
             ~Natalie Spiccia, CRAFT intern

"To me, my int​ernship at BRWIA has allowed me to learn about wonderful opportunities and services in the community I live in, which previously I was not aware about but now has opened me up to a whole other side of the Boone community that I want to be a part of. "
​~ Shannon Donnelly, Community of Gardens Intern

“Interning with BRWIA allowed me to become more rooted in this community and taught me the effort it takes to keep a nonprofit up and running. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.”
​                      ~ Alyssa Moore, Market Team Intern

"BRWIA is the most unique and passionate organization I have ever worked with, dedicated to meeting community needs and establishing long-term positive relationships. During my time interning at the [high country food hub], I established more community connections and learned more about what it takes to serve this area than I did during my time in school. The women leading this organization are truly inspirational."
