LendGR
LendGR is a non-profit organization through the Center of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which is a part of the Grand Valley State University Business School. Small businesses would sign up and get 20 hours of free work from students on staff. There were different type of projects there but primarily focused on marketing materials for both print and online purposes. A few branding projects were in there as well. A lot of the time I worked one-on-one with customers but also got feedback from teammates.
