Meet the Intern: Eileen Sinn

Meet SNBC's Communications & Social Media Fall 2012 Intern


SNBC offers volunteer and employment positions as well as internship opportunities. One such opportunity is the Communications and Social Media Internship, which was held by Eileen Sinn during the Fall 2012 semester. This fall, Eileen wrote blog posts, assisted with SNBC’s e-newsletters, created photo slideshows, drafted outreach materials, and helped improve SNBC’s communications and social media efforts.
Then: Eileen (middle) and friends after Beacon...
Eileen’s connection to SNBC didn’t begin as an intern; Eileen was in fact once a participant in SNBC’s afterschool program at A.P. Giannini Middle School! In the 3 years that she participated in the afterschool program at APG, Eileen was a part of the newsletter, photography, and student tech corps clubs, as well as the Portraits of Hope blimp painting project. For what felt like so long ago, some of the same SNBC staff who worked within this program when she was a participant are still there now! Shout-out to Sean and Nathaniel, (who have collectively worked at SNBC for over 25 years!!), who are doing such great work and are inspiring students like Eileen.

Now: Eileen and friends after classes
“SNBC has been a life changing experience. I've gone back twice and it has helped me grow both times.” Eileen loved her time there and still keeps in contact with all the friends she met through SNBC. A native San Franciscan, Eileen is currently in her third year at San Francisco State University working towards an degree in Anthropology and is looking forward to where it will take her.

THANK YOU EILEEN for all your hard work at SNBC this fall! You were a fantastic addition to our Communications team and we were so glad to have you on board! Best wishes in 2013! Love, The SNBC Team
