My name is Nathan Siegel and I'm a junior at Riverdale High School. DonorsResource is a great website because it brings non profit organizations and people together. I joined primarily because I like helping my community and making society better. My job is a market analyst, I look at organizations and provide useful information for the company. Also what I plan to do is create public interest surveys so we know what the public wants.

It didn’t occur to me DonorsResource would be a non-profit organization, as opposed to something involving organs, or blood donations.  Not wanting to be stuck in Mr. Wechter’s SAT prep for my Oldoni period; I eagerly switched into the next available class, DonorsResource, without a second thought.  After learning about its mission of connecting non-profit’s with donations, I was eager to jump on board.  Over the summer I had participated in a camp called Exploregon, which provided underprivileged teenagers with the unique opportunity to do things like, cliff diving, and zip lining.  I met many interesting people, and was surprised by how they were in need of such basic things like a backpack, or a raincoat, stuff I take for granted on a daily basis.  The idea of reaching out to them and making a difference, is what made me want to pursue working at DonorsResource, so that they may one day be able to get that raincoat, and backpack.

Hello, my name is Nathan Gruenberg.  I am really looking forward to working with DonorsResource this year!  DonorsResource is a great opportunity for me to get some real-work experience and help out in my community.  Along with new intern Andy Koida, I am working on business outreach, with my main focus being local green (environmentally friendly) businesses.  I am really looking forward to making new connections with some great businesses and as a result, help DonorsResource grow.

Hi, my name is Andy Koida and this is my first year at DonorsResource.  My job is to reach out to other local businesses to support our organization. My goal for this year to get the name “DonorsResource “out to local businesses, and explain the benefits of this program.  I am looking forward to interacting with many businesses throughout our community.  I am very excited to work with this team, and I hope to make a good influence on our community.

Hello, my name is Nick Condon and this is my first year as a DonorsResource intern! I decided to get involved with DonorsResource because I was very interested in the idea that high school students could run a non-profit organization. My position at DonorsResource is a nonprofit outreach specialist. My job is to connect more non-profits to our website so that they can use our site and get the "stuff" they need. I am very excited to be working for DonorsResource and hope to have a great rest of the year!

My name is Chloe, and I’m a nonprofit outreach and social media intern. I became involved with DonorsResource.org in February when I helped out with a smaller project, and I really wanted to be a part of DonorsResource.org once I learned more about the great things it can do for nonprofits. My job is to contact nonprofits that haven’t joined our website yet and tell them about the great donations DonorsResource.org can connect them with. I like this job because I get to communicate directly with the nonprofits that we serve, and the nonprofits become aware of the opportunity to receive the supplies they need through our website. I also post on our Facebook and twitter pages, and I have a goal of increasing our number of followers and spreading the word about the great organizations that register with us. I’m very excited to be an intern and can’t wait to see where DonorsResource.org will go in the future!

Our DonorsResource intern group has gotten a lot of attention from students at Riverdale High School.  As time goes on we get more interest in being apart of our team!  This trimester we are welcoming a whole new group!  Say hello to our awesome new interns!

My name is Elizabeth Friedman, and I recently learned about DonorsResource and the wonderful intern program run here at Riverdale. I signed up to help immediately, and I am excited for this fantastic opportunity. My work consists of looking for schools to sign up on DonorsResource.org, finding schools that can donate stuff, or have a need for donated things. I look forward help make a difference in the community. Starting as an intern has given me a great opportunity, and I am having so much fun. I have learned so much, and am thrilled for the coming year.
