    Wrapping up the week, we have an intern spotlight from Gia Reilly, who interned with the Delaware Office of Women’s Advancement and Advocacy (OWAA) this summer. #BidenInstituteSummerIntern

In this internship, I was able to research policy concepts to help Delaware women and girls. I created a collective policy proposal covering a wide range of topics, such as menopause education, increasing access to School Based Health Centers, and protection for those looking to donate period products to their community. Working within a State of Delaware office that has an outward facing position gave me insight into how important communication and asking questions can be. I had the opportunity to attend the She's On Her Way event, celebrating young women in Delaware. Here I saw communities come together to raise each other up. It was refreshing how connected this office was and how open they were to new ideas. I am so appreciative of my time with OWAA and hope to keep supporting Delaware women as I begin my final year of my masters!

Currently, I am helping design a child friendly gun safety graphic that we will distribute at our events. Using Canva I was able to design two coloring pages for children ages 4-7 and 8-13. Our hope is to foster gun safety in children early to prevent accidental deaths, but we wanted to make sure our graphics were also welcoming and appropriate for a child to pick up. The main thing I considered while I was creating my graphic was whether or not I as a parent would feel comfortable with my child seeing our gun safety graphics. This is the first design work that I have gotten to do for any internship or job I've held, so I was super excited to let the creative side of me shine!

While the 153rd General Assembly came to a close on June 30th, for the remaining time I have left in my internship I will be working on an independent research project focused on a public policy issue. This project will allow me to dive deeper into policy research, analyze data and legislation, engage with stakeholders, and develop practical, evidence-based recommendations. I'm looking forward to strengthening my research and analytical skills while contributing to work that can help inform thoughtful public policy that aligns with the Lieutenant Governor's initiatives and improve outcomes for Delaware communities.

    Our first intern spotlight this week is from Avery Allcock, who is interning with the United States Conference of Mayors this summer. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is a non-partisan advocacy organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. #BidenInstituteSummerIntern

The United States Conference of Mayors. 

After returning from the United States Conference of Mayors' annual meeting in Long Beach, California in June, I have been working on a variety of projects. I am most excited about my work with the Children, Health, and Human Services standing committee. As a psychology and public policy double major, I am constantly looking for ways to combine both of my passions to create meaningful change for our most vulnerable communities. I am extremely grateful that the Conference has allowed me to do just this: develop a mental health awareness campaign for the Conference's social media platforms.
