I\u2019ve been vegan for a little\nmore than a year, and my experience with The Vegetarian Resource Group has been\nvery rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I initially joined VRG in an attempt to\nfind a deeper connection to veganism. Though I was already comfortable with\neating a vegan diet, I wanted to learn more about vegan activism and how I\ncould make an even bigger contribution to the vegan cause. Interning with VRG\nhas definitely helped me get closer to this goal. I\u2019ve learned so much about\ndifferent types of activism and running a non-profit organization. My favorite\npart of this experience has been meeting those who are connected to The\nVegetarian Resource Group. Here, I quickly learned that having connections is a\ncrucial part of running a successful cause, so interning at VRG has allowed me\nto get more comfortable with networking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also enjoyed assisting with different outreach events including a vegan Jewish cooking demonstration and a booth at an event for dietitians. This opportunity gave me a new perspective on how events are run and planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, working in the VRG office also\nmeant that I could try lots of fun vegan snacks! My personal favorites were\nvegan ice cream mochi and vegan ravioli from Amy\u2019s Kitchen. Overall, I am\nextremely grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at VRG and have gained\na lot from this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about VRG\ninternships, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/student\/index.php\">https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/student\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shun Shueh was a VRG high school\nintern in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Shun Shueh It has been a pleasure interning with The Vegetarian Resource Group for about 3 months.
