Freedom can be defined differently by everyone. In a way, freedom is what makes you feel the most alive. Freedom is what you seek while living life, as a human being free makes you feel alive. Working countless hours isnt feeling alive, having to fight for your life isnt feeling alive. So go ahead, and find your freedom living and loving life.

I am honored to be given this opportunity and I know this organization will further enhance my professional development skills.  This organization embodies many of the goals and values I hold dear, and I am excited to contribute to an organization that strives for a better future for farmworkers and their communities. 

The Child Labor Coalition has made me feel vulnerable, proud, and excited about my future. It’s okay to come from the lettuce fields.

My work placement has opened my mind on the possible issues I can work with. I am excited to see what other projects I will have an opportunity to work on.
