Question:

I just got back to my apartment from watching you speak. I was one of
the girls in the front. Your talk was so interesting, inspiring, and
engaging.

Like I told you earlier, I'm double majoring in Political Science and
French and am definitely interested in going to law school after
college for international or public interest law. I am also very
passionate about women's issues and education. I am just a sophomore
and have done administrative work in an AmeriCorps office for a few
years as well.

Do you know of any organizations that can integrate every single one
of these things at all (majors, post-graduation plans, interests)?

Thank you so much!

Answer:

Short answer: Yes, yes, and yes.  I'm ccing a really good friend of
mine who is an expert in this area.  Aviva, meet Rachel.

Take a look at a few of these links:

http://www.undp.org/legalempowerment/

Remember the process through it all: 1. find a cool
company/organization that aligns with you; 2. email/call them with a
crisp message stating why you are good for them; and 3. repeat until
you're doing what you really want!

Always here if you need me - J
