This semester I am taking a class in which I have to do an internship and explain what I do each week. I was having trouble deciding where I wanted to intern. I was set on a newspaper at first like Seven Days or Burlington Free Press but then I started to think about non-profits and incorporating my peace and justice minor in journalism a bit. After talking to my professor, she told me about Vermont Family Network. VFN focuses on helping children and young adults with special needs while also promoting better heath, education and well-being for children and familes in Vermont.
My boyfriend's mom currently works with special needs students at an elementary school in Connecticutt and hopefully she will be happy to hear what I will be doing for the semester. It feels good to change it up and it will be nice to get off campus during the week. From the website, I see that I will be working in Williston, which is only a little ways from campus.
Homework awaits.
