An Internship That's More Than Just Work
My internship at 261 Fearless began a few weeks ago, and I am still overwhelmed by the positive energy and cohesion I experience daily. From the first minute, it was clear to me that this is not just an organization that supports women in running. It's about so much more – it's about empowerment, self-confidence, and breaking boundaries, both physically and mentally.
Daily Inspiration
Every day here brings new stories of women overcoming their fears and achieving personal goals through 261 Fearless. Whether it's the woman who finds her inner strength again after a difficult life phase or the group of friends training together for their first marathon. As part of the public relations team, it's my job to collect and share these stories to inspire and motivate others. There's nothing more fulfilling than seeing the message of 261 Fearless being carried forward and bearing fruit.
Learning and Growing
In addition to working on inspiring campaigns and writing content for our website and social media, the internship also gives me the chance to learn from experienced staff in public relations. I've already gained valuable insights into the planning and execution of PR campaigns, event management, strategic communication, and especially content development and social media. Every day is a new learning opportunity, and I am grateful for the support and trust my team shows me.
The Importance of Community
Perhaps the most impressive thing about 261 Fearless is the strong community it has built worldwide. Despite the diverse backgrounds and life stories of the women, there's a common bond that connects us all:
the love of running and the desire to exceed ourselves. As a public relations intern, I am proud to be part of this movement and to help even more women discover and live their fearlessness.
Conclusion
My internship at 261 Fearless is more than just a temporary stop in my professional journey. It is an experience that enriches me personally and professionally, showing me how powerful and transformative a global community can be. I am excited to be part of this community and to carry the inspiring message of 261 Fearless into the world.
