I got to Boston and they sent me to Rhode Island. I got to Rhode Island and they sent me to Miami. Who knew that a policy internship would necessitate Timberland boots and paint pants? I am loving this job.
Thankfully, I’m working with superfabulous alum Rob Gordon, who understands what an MPA is (more than just MBA- light). So I get hauled into his office every couple of days for a drill about “policy implications,” “strategic partnerships,” and “deployed knowledge from 501 and other great works.”
He set me up to work with a superfabulous MPA… from Harvard. Despite my initial misgivings, turns out they learn things there, too. And, I’m not just painting murals with the kids! I’m also working with her to develop a handbook of Best Practices for New Site Development. After launching its 19th site, City Year has decided to take a moment and reflect. Good thing I took program & policy evaluation! Oh wait. I didn’t. I took 505.
