SUMMARY
The Just One Profit is a nonprofit organization that specializes in uplifting the community through various ways. Addressing food insecurity is the face of the organization, but it has grown beyond that, from youth programs to career readiness, focusing on the root of the problem rather than finding an immediate solution. The organization has focused on stability in the community, helping individuals and families thrive. Our internship opportunities provide the opportunity for students to hone in on or acquire skills relating to their major in the nonprofit sector. With the different internships that our organization plans to offer, our learning opportunities open up general experience for students wanting to take a role in a corporate-like work environment.
