Testimonials

Through the AVID elective class, students become a family and participate in a number of activities geared towards college and careers. Your resume writing workshop was a perfect fit for our AVID students and allowed them an opportunity to delve deeper into their career by actually strengthening their resume and preparing for (an actual) interview. This is an awesome workshop that I would recommend for students and adults alike as they seek to build or strengthen their career portfolio and to ensure that they are adequately prepared for interviews.

Thank you again for all that you do!

I felt privileged to volunteer my services with the AnnieRuth Foundation; it was an awesome experience to be able to help assist in preparing the back packs filled with supplies and giving bagged fruit and vegetables to the students at Ocean way Elementary school, the kids were taught how to make healthy choice in selecting the foods they eat. This organization is doing an outstanding job educating our communities on various topics!

Being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s Summer Internship Program has given me the upper hand when it comes to completing college assignments. I’ve been able to share the knowledge, skills and wisdom that I received during the internship with my colleagues at BCU and I’m already viewed as one who will excel in the competitive industry of Communications. The experience will also help me when I become an international motivational speaker. I am so very appreciative of the AnnieRuth Foundation for affording me this opportunity!

I would like to thank the AnnieRuth Foundation for delivering such outstanding community outreach to our residents. Young adults are in need of guidance in order to be successful in life. The facilitators’ enthusiasm in delivering a difficult topic, Breaking the Cycle, is truly appreciated. Our young people need enlightenment nowadays, more than ever.

Thank you from all of us at University Plaza!!!

Being an AnnieRuth Foundation summer internship award recipient has been a blessing and an honor. I am so very grateful to have been offered this opportunity because this internship is the first step to my career goal as a Fashion Buyer. Through this program, I learned a lot about the Fashion Merchandising industry and I feel very strongly that this is the field for me. I am also thankful for the AnnieRuth Foundation for giving to the community by investing in the future of students.

Through the AnnieRuth Foundation’s Summer Internship Program, I’ve learned ways to be successful; from learning how to perform well during an interview, to speaking out more when in public, to learning how to start my own business. The experience has given me confidence and has equipped me with tools to comfortably handle any challenge that comes my way. I am very thankful to the AnnieRuth Foundation for providing this opportunity.
