"I loved having my internship in Dublin! Through that experience, I definitely felt like I became a part of the Irish community. It was so incredible to be able to work with schools and I feel like I learned so many skills and gained confidence that I will use later on when I become a teacher."

- Sarah, 2019 Dublin Intern
