Intern Quote
“I typically go into the office 2-3 times a week but due to the flexibility of LifeCenter I am often able to work remotely from home. One of the great things about LifeCenter is that every single day is different based on events that are being put together or tasks that need to be done around the office. Due to the wide variety of each day I have been able to see many different parts of LifeCenter and do new things such as help set up events or help/observe commercial shoots. This summer with LifeCenter has been such an amazing and fulfilling experience that has allowed me increase my work experience and help local communities as well.”
