Testimonials

100% said they’d recommend OSOS to a friend and gave our internship a 4.5-star rating!

“The OSOS internship program provided me with valuable experience in advocacy along with gaining a better understanding of gun violence and the implications it has on our communities. The program is great for those interested in public policy, advocacy, or simply for those seeking to positively impact their community.”

“I learned that making an actual change and influencing which bills get passed in your state is way easier than most people think. All it takes is a script, a phone number, and five minutes of your time to be the voice for the change you're advocating for.”

“It was a great experience and nice to be exposed to such a serious issue of gun violence, especially from a state that doesn't experience much. It feels good to be aware and to have made an impact and raise awareness!”

“This internship was so fun and eye-opening, especially to the issue of gun violence in general, as it is such a serious problem in many communities but often is overlooked. This internship also taught me many experiences, such as lobbying, and how accessible it is to reach out to people who work in the government.”
