We then use communication strategies, including visual storytelling, to empower them to advocate for themselves and achieve tangible improvements in their communities.

- Collaborate with project coordinators, community members, and fellow interns to ensure designs align with project goals and cultural contexts.
- Adapt existing design materials for different languages and audiences.
- Gain valuable experience in working within a non-profit organization and contributing to social impact.
