Interning at Caroline Collective is a rich experience. The people are smart, fun, tenacious, creative, and, most importantly, part of a growing and deep community. As an employee, the members you serve aren’t just your clients, they are your friends. They’ll offer up help where possible to further the goals of each member of the Collective, and that includes you, the new guy.

If that’s not enough, Caroline Collective runs through the nexus of vital groups that contribute to Houston’s rich cultural and economic fabric. Because I worked with Caroline Collective, I became connected to Houston’s music community, and Houston’s art community, and Houston’s technology community, and Houston’s media community, and Houston’s political community, and Houston’s small business community. This could go on.

Suffice it to say, that whatever your responsibilities–and you have a large say in shaping your role–joining Caroline Collective is more than just taking some “job,” its rising to become a more positive and productive member of the Houston community.
