From apasty2 at uic.edu Wed Apr 5 10:00:12 2023 From: apasty2 at uic.edu (Alexis Pastyka) Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2023 10:00:12 -0500 Subject: [Advocacy-outreach] Internship opportunity Message-ID: Hello, I hope all is well. My name is Alexis Pastyka and I am a graduate social work student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In the Fall I will be starting my specialization year that focuses on organization and community practice. I will be expected to complete an internship for that academic year, starting from late August and going till the beginning of May. This past year, I have grown a strong interest in direct community outreach and program policy building/reform, especially as it relates to the environment. During my internship search I have come across the Chicago Community Gardeners Association and specifically the Advocacy and Outreach team. Therefore, I am reaching out to see if your organization has any potential internship opportunities and if we would be able to discuss this opportunity further. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best, Alexis Pastyka -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will respond with a recommendation for contacting the Master Gardener Program, but if you have other recommendations, please offer them to her. I plan to mention that we are all volunteers with busy lives outside of gardening so she may not hear from us other than for suggestions as to where to find people for the task. Thanks for your help.
