The role of quotidian internships often involves mindless filing and getting coffee. My role at Let Go…Let Peace Come In Foundation was about reaching out to people who are survivors and making a positive, impactful change in their lives.

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 Executive Director at gretchen@letgoletpeacecomein.org.

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 Come […]
