While you will be trusted with important responsibilities (no coffee making or erasing the whiteboard!), it's fine if you don't have the skills yet. All we are looking for is 3 specific qualities:

1. Ownership
   You are committed to A Good Space like it is your own initiative; continually asking questions on how we can improve and do better. Even if it means additional reading or meeting new people to find answers to those questions, you'll do it.

2. Integrity
   You are honest, trustworthy and commit to doing what you say. To help you grow, we'll entrust you with important responsibilities that will stretch you past your comfort zone and we need to know that we can count on you.

3. Excellence
   We are looking for people who share our drive to create meaningful social impact. If you are looking for a normal internship to fulfil a school requirement, then this is probably not for you.
