2020 Intern Cohort
The Seattle Barkery - Production
This internship was my first time having a real job experience and first time earning money. I learned working skills as I learned to complete given tasks and had try to do customer service.
Hosting an intern, led us to realize what we needed for our business! Our intern was so valuable to us that we have made it a permanent position going forward, creating another job!
Molly Ray Parfums - Digital marketing
I enjoy having a physical workspace and working with someone so dedicated to making my goals come to fruition.
I can say that a valuable part of having an intern is that it pushes you as a business owner to look at your brand and business through a different lens. That's super important this year in particular!
French girl - Operations
I enjoy most the great people I work with, it's a good work environment. I definitely learned how to be more social thanks to my co-workers!
The internship program is a benefit for both the intern and the host. As the host, FRENCH GIRL was happy to have Jasmine join the team. She has been an excellent employee during her short time with us: she's interested in the business itself and is always willing to do whatever task is assigned to her. We are grateful to both Seattle Good and Juma Ventures for making this internship possible.
Prairie Underground - Production
I enjoyed earning wages as well as the management. I learned how to steam and fold clothes in a proper way.
Hosting an intern through this program helped my business create an ethical structure for internships that include day to day tasks alongside behind the scenes learning objectives.
rue Santé - Social Media and Research
I learned a lot about manufacturing, how to handle professional conversations with international companies, and how to properly manage my responsibilities.
I’m so grateful for the Seattle Good Business Network. It has really made a difference for us at a time when our resources were incredibly tight due to Covid. Our intern, Anishta, was incredibly helpful and eager to learn. She was able to take on some major projects, like researching sustainable dispensing options, updating our research links and helping with our social media. It is very rewarding to mentor youth because the learning is happening on both sides.
Bucha belly - Production

I enjoyed learning about entrepreneurship and kombucha production through my internship.
Hosting an intern through this program helped my business because I was able to reduce my personal workload, giving me time to develop a training program that makes it easier to bring on new interns and employees in the future.
Pot Pie Factory - Production
Yousra is a local high school student who is interested in the small business world with keen skills in communications and customer service. She is starting an internship position with Pot Pie Factory, a Seattle Good Business Network member!
The extra hands are so helpful to catch up with inventory needs. Plus it's really nice working with an all female team.
Thank you to our program sponsors!
