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.
