Sophie worked at the Manna Center Program for Food Safety and Security as their marketing and research intern.

Grants are administered by the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. Programming is administered by JVS Career Services. Through the Cincy Journeys program, Cincinnati Onward Israel interns are in the unique position of participating in this experience for free.
