August 31st, 2006 by Coralee | Filed under Foundation, Writing and Editing.If you're new here, read more about the More Good Foundation. We help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church) share their beliefs on the Internet. Learn more about what Mormons believe or talk with Mormons at LDS.net.
I worked at the More Good Foundation as an intern for eight months and began work soon after the Foundation was formed. It has been a blast! The position I applied for was as a “writer/editor,” but I ended up doing much more. I learned so much and now feel confident using software programs and techniques that are requisite in my field. I was able to come to work every day, having flexible hours, and research my religion. How great is that? But more than the benefits I received, I felt great knowing I was helping others. I worked to write articles for websites that would spread correct information about the Church. It was a nice feeling to know that I was part of something that had entirely selfless goals. The More Good Foundation is growing and it has been so exciting to see the positive changes we’ve undergone since I started work here. The point of the More Good Foundation is to help our brothers and sisters on earth find the right information that they search for. What a worthwhile cause!
I’m sad to be leaving, but this upcoming semester is just too jam-packed . . . I will continue keeping my eye out for more opportunities I can suggest to MGF.
Thanks everyone, for making the experience a great one!
Thank you Coralee, it was great to work with you !
A friend of mine who just moved back to Provo from New York (where I am now) to finish his last semester at the Y told me that MGF is looking for a writer/editor.
How and where do I apply? This sounds like a great the PERFECT career for anyone!
I earned a BA in English with a minor in Spanish, heavy emphasis in Technical Writing, core linguisitics and intense grammar study, etc. Plus, I used to live in Utah (Ogden) where I went to school. I am familiar with the area, the people, and the culture.
I was born and raised in New York State, called to serve a mission for the Church in South America, and (as mentioned previously) lived in Ogden where I attended Weber State University.
If you at The More Good Foundation are willing to try me, I believe I can help bring greater depth and value to the information we share, and how we share it, because of where and by whom I was raised. You see, my parents are adult converts to the Church and I grew up hearing what “the other side” thinks of the Church, the funny misconceptions–the whole bit.

Robert, I am not sure about this being a \”career\” but it can be a great internship and a passion for life at least. Send an email at gmartinengo@moregoodfoundation.org
