As a student, Alfredo found the internship experience to be an excellent learning opportunity: "I like the communication skills I learned canvassing and phone banking. I also learned about database management, navigating around a large city different than San Fransisco, and adapting to a new environment."

"It also provided me with the opportunity to meet unique and smart individuals who were welcoming from the first day."

Although he studied sociology and rhetoric at Contra Costa Community College, he feels like "even though sociology gave me a foundation to understand why people and society are the way they are, this experience taught me that you have to affect policy to make an impact in a community."
