Each intern working with the Let Go…Let Peace Come In Foundation has a unique reason for contributing to our mission. Whether they themselves were victims, they were close to a victim, or they were inspired by the cause, each has dedicated their time to helping LGLPCI grow. Our interns work with us to promote our cause by reaching out to survivors, improving and updating our Web site, bringing new ideas to the program, and more. To date, our interns have come from local universities and have used this internship for valuable class credit. In the future, we hope to include international students in our internship program. If you are interested in participating in an internship program with LGLPCI please contact our Administrative Director at gretchen@letgoletpeacecomein.org.

The internship at Let Go Let Peace Come In Foundation has opened up my eyes to the issue of childhood sexual abuse. I joined the internship in the hopes of being able to witness and understand the negatively influential effects childhood sexual abuse can have on an individual. Through the internship I have been able to talk to, chat with, and reach out to survivors all over the world including Pakistan, Australia, and Africa to name a few. My main task was to find ways of reaching out to survivors and supportive organizations to join the foundation’s mission and help expand our voice through the website. While researching, it came as a shock to me to uncover just how prevalent childhood sexual abuse is worldwide. There are and have been so many people affected by CSA; Presidents, actors, musicians, authors, and so many more. All these people and many more need the proper counseling and healing services to allow them to accept their trauma and be able to move past it. I am very proud to have worked with an organization as LGLPCI where survivors can begin their healing process by telling their story, and find the appropriate support needed to let go of their tragedy and let the peace finally come into their lives. |

Childhood sexual abuse is something that I feel strongly about because someone I am very close to is a victim. She was lucky and able to get counseling and is now doing well. I saw how much telling her story helped her to heal, and when I found out about the Let Go…Let Peace Foundation, I thought about how this would be a great opportunity to be able to help others who are suffering.
Through this internship experience, I learned a great deal about Web site development, and what it is like to work for a small non-profit organization. This internship was beneficial because I was encouraged to come up with new ideas to help the foundation and was then able to implement those ideas.
This past semester working here has been a great learning experience for me. I am happy to have found the LGLPCI Foundation, and for the chance to help others through the work that we do. |
