Northwestern D.A., Northampton, MA

I was responsible for facilitating presentations to 5th-12th graders on Internet safety and cyber bullying. I performed relevant research and prep work. Attended coalition meetings and worked with high school mentors.
As the job progressed i was able to do more solo presentations.

I would rate this placement as Very good overall, and i would recommend it to other students because you really get to know the legal system , understand recent cases, and get lots of teaching experience. I would not change anything about this job.

The only advice I can give to other students is to explore all the options, there are a lot out there. Find something that fits you really well, even if it doesn't pay, the experience is priceless.
