“Working with Love and Justice Alliance has been impactful because it has taught me the importance of representation in your community and not being scared to use your voice especially as a young Hispanic girl, standing up for what you believe in and encouraging others around you to do the same, I don’t think I would be as comfortable using my voice if it wasn’t for the doors love and justice has opened for me, I am so grateful to work with them and continue to learn more from them and carry the lessons and experiences with me.”

“Working for LJA has been a super unique and uplifting experience where I have had opportunities to network, learn, grow and share. LJA is much more than just another org, it has become a community and safe space for myself and many others. I am looking forward to what LJA has to come and further developing alongside my team here as well!”

“Being an intern for this organization has been such an amazing experience, from connecting with the youth from our community, to getting out of my comfort zone, I have learned and grown so much as an individual. It has opened so many doors, opportunities, and resources for me, and I have been able to help share this knowledge to those around me. I’m excited to see where this internship takes me!”
