Intern Spotlight
Leigh Peterson
Student Intern, Indiana University --Bloomington, Indiana
“As an intern with The Apareció Foundation you will have the opportunity to be one of the creative forces driving the initial stages of a program that will empower young women to achieve their full potential—and that is
tremendously satisfying.”
Leigh Peterson interned with The Apareció Foundation during the summer
of 2009 after completing her junior year of school at the Indiana
University campus in Bloomington, Indiana. With a background in
Apparel Merchandising and Business and prior experience planning
fundraising events and educational meetings for Riley's Children's
Hospital in Indianapolis (University Dance Marathon), Leigh found The
Apareció Foundation to be a great place for her to expand on her event
planning and develop event research skills while continuing her past
working experience with volunteer organizations.
