Policy Work
“Each one of [the interns] presented at least once to a classroom or community organization about data disaggregation. They also tabled, testified, attended Legislative Day, hosted the Pass Or Fail In Cambodia Town documentary, collected over 600 photos of students asking for better data, worked on ICOUNT videos, attended press conferences, and wrote up a piece of their internship journey and submitted it to different news outlets.”
-Tony Vo, SEAeD Organizer

It was difficult to set meeting times, align values, and come up with common goals
for the project. It’s important to ask for outside guidance and build interpersonal
relationships to keep everyone accountable.
