In the word of past interns:

“Through Puentes I was able to be a Social Research Intern with an Argentine organization that since 1989 has been working in public health areas with the mission to develop scientific research and actions for the prevention and promotion of rights to guarantee access to health and reduce the impact of diseases with a focus on HIV / AIDS. By being part of the team I learned how to work remotely and effectively communicate with others in the workplace, I was also able to use my Spanish at a professional level for the first time, which I really enjoyed.” - Edgar F., Social Research Intern, from Carleton College
