  • Prompt. Provide your response to the three questions below: Since you have not yet been “matched” with an agency, your responses are expected to be hypothetical.
    1. What skills/talents can you offer the agency? How do you expect that your participation will impact the agency?
    2. How do you expect that the agency will impact you? In what ways will you be different at the end of the Summer? How will you be a better “World Citizen”?
    3. How will you and the agency, working together, impact the community after the 10-week program? You can define community in any way that you wish (e.g., Neighborhood, clients, region, world etc.).
  • Note. This Essay is weighed heavily in the selection process. Students selected will be matched with “Host” agencies and are expected to refine their responses during their internship, maintain a journal and complete a research paper, and a brief presentation upon completion of the internship.
