Hello my Service-Learning people, if you are still out there... I miss you! But also...
........ I am running for school board in 4j - I want to keep the campaigning clean and low-impact -- so no big corporate (Stand for Children) donations, no plastic yard signs, no shiny mailings from non-union shops, etc. I am not a politician (I am an educator and a parent who wants a change from the status quo). I do not want to go into details of platform positions etc, and risk violating the page's space, but I do want you all to know that this is going on, and give you my FB page in case you want to learn more. THANKS FOR CHECKING IT OUT! :) 😊

College to Congress is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to creating pathways for students to intern on Capitol Hill who otherwise could not afford the opportunity - the majority of Congressional internships are unpaid, forcing students to front the bill of a $10,000.00 opportunity. This creates a barrier of entry for students with limited financial means and without political connections.
The program offers leadership training, mentorships, an alumni network, and stipends to cover flights, meals, housing, and a professional wardrobe - in other words all costs are covered. Interns are also paired with a mentor from the opposite party to demonstrate the power of moving beyond partisan conflict and forging compromise.
The program is now accepting applications to fill 20 spots of summer 2018. Deadline to apply is Nov. 24. Apply online at http://www.collegetocongress.org/apply.
