After receiving over 50 applications for eleven positions, the EASL staff and their community partners have selected the 2002 Servant Leadership Summer Interns. In fact, our group will be slightly larger this year: two of the placement sites were so impressed with the intern candidates that they made special arrangements to fund a second intern. Interns are funded to work for eight weeks with a local Atlanta organization and participate in weekly reflection sessions with the intern group.
This year's placements and interns are
The Children's Museum of Atlanta (Tal Berkowitz, Laurel DeCou),
Bobby Dodd Industries (Meagan O'Brien),
the Community Housing Resource Center (Claire Lederman, Melissa Lozano),
the Georgia Law Center for the Homeless (Sara Carrasco),
Samaritan House (Mary Ellen Mitchell),
Georgia Justice Project (Ali Lutz),
Newcomers' Network (Sofia Panjwani),
Women's Action for New Directions (Sangeetha Ekambaram),
St. Vincent de Paul Society (Sean DeVetter),
St. Joseph's Mercy Care Services (William Leasure), and
UNICEF (Paige Rohe).
