Aaron SI have been a participant, mentor, and now I'm an intern! It's really gnarly to think about my encompassing experiences of PeaceJam and now I'm going to be behind the scenes.

Anyway, one of my major focuses while interning here will be grant writing. I was wondering if anyone had any "pro-tips" on how-to write a grant. I should be starting a training session soon, but thought I'd get some quick tips first!

Thanks!

Carolyn DAaaaarrrrrooon!!!!! Yay! I'm so glad that you get to stay connected with PJ in CO. I don't really have any pro-tips about grant writing but if you need ideas, I can email you some of the grants we have written here at Great Lakes.

Jasmin MSounds awesome, Aaron! Are you excited about your internship?

I've never personally written a grant before, but my previous supervisor was a grant writing master. He trained me in the skills I've never been able to use, so am unsure that I have. But I have his training documents and would be happy to share those with you.

Ryan, over here at HQ, has given me a ton of reading, but the more the merrier!

That's super exciting Aaron. I was one of the first interns at PJHQ a few years ago and I had a wonderful experience as I'm sure you will as well. Good luck with the grant writing!
