Introducing Zoe

We'd love you to meet our wonderful Intern Zoe!

I have almost completed my second week (I am completing a month internship for university) as an intern for the Australian Immigrant and Refugee Women`s Alliance (AIRWA). I have come at an exciting time for AIRWA, with a range of vastly different projects occurring within the organization. These projects range from the Children’s Sanctuary for the Canberra Multicultural Festival, to International Women’s Day to lobbying at Parliament House.  I have been lucky to be involved in all of these areas.

The launch of the social media campaign In Her Shoes has been the main focus of my internship. It is an innovative campaign that appeals to all generations. I encourage everyone to become involved in this great campaign. It has been a highlight to read the stories of women and men on the In Her Shoes Facebook page. It is a great way to gain an insight into others’ lives.

Finally to sum up my internship in a few words so far, challenging, exciting and educational. AIRWA has given me an insight into an NGO, and re-affirmed this is where I wish to head career wise.




Zoe is an amazing part of our team!
