Top 5 Reason that I love being an IWJ intern

Top 5 Reasons that I love being an IWJ intern:
by Becky S. working at ICWJ in Madison, Wisconsin

5) Every day, I meet and learn from people of all sorts of backgrounds, talents and interests. We are connected by a shared vision of justice.

4) I get to bring all of me into this work: my faith, skills, experience, values, learning styles, flaws, doubts, and vision. It is all used and challenged and enriched.

3) In our little office, I encounter a host of nationalities and personalities and a whirr of activities. Staff, volunteers, students - working and calling. Visitors –workers, clergy, children, folks from other agencies. In and out. Spanish and English spoken. Stories shared, phone calls to employers made, computer keys clicking, meetings and plans for action.

2) I never do just one thing in one same place all day.

1) Free fair-trade coffee.
