Originally from Minnesota, Rebecca (Becca) Berman has always been fond of non-profits and grassroots organizations. In the past few years she has worked with over 30 NGOs in the United States and aboard. After graduating from Smith College with a B.A. in Sociology, she moved to D.C. to intern with an organization which mobilized voter participation efforts for the 2006 elections. Her involvement with GRO began as a delegate for the Kenya 2009 delegation. This experience inspired her to shift gears and work with youth and education. She then spent six months in India teaching dramatic arts to over 200 children in rural Kerala. Several months later she was thrilled to return to India and GRO as an Assistant Program Co-coordinator for the 2010 India delegation in Trivandrum. Becca believes that GRO is an important organization to inspire youth and young deaf adults to realize their dreams and full potential. Outside of GRO, Becca is currently pursuing a master’s degree in International Training and Education at American University with a focus on inclusive education in international development. |
