Whenever a person starts a new job there are things we expect to happen.  I am no exception.  When I came to work here at the Council last year, I expected some new challenges. Little did I know at the time that would come to include supervising the interns (what do I know about working with young people, I just graduated from high school in 1975).  Last year we had 6 summer interns and now I am proud to say that we have interns working in our office all year long and when the summer youth come on board we will have 11 interns.  Our interns are from local and out town colleges, the Mayor Youth Leadership Program, Summer Youth Employment  Program, Sasha Bruce Youthwork and we have a volunteer Senior Advisor. 

The interns have made a great impact on our office.  There is no way we could give our community and constituents the time, quality and quantity of services that we are able to provide without the interns. All of our interns are brilliant, dependable, trustworthy future leaders.  We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many interns and I am convinced that we have already worked with or will work with the future President of the United States or at the least the next Golden Globe winner.   Here at the Committee on Human Services we are committed to the education and empowerment of our Youth.
