Hi Team!
So I feel pretty honored to be responsible for this Blog’s first entry; it’s not every day you start history! I’m very busy at the moment finalizing everything for CRC Intern Training Week (next week….yikes!) but I wanted to take a little break and craft this blog to get things going. I’ll keep it short and sweet. : )
Recently, members of the CRC Core Leadership team explored different ways in which we might archive events and happenings associated with the organization. As the world goes more digital and looks to the Internet as a haven for up-to-date information, blogs are becoming an effective and engaging tool with which people from communities can stay connected. It is my understanding that this blog, among other things, is to be a means of record-keeping. In other words, what better way to find out about what’s going on in the CRC than from the Interns!
The exact purpose of this Blog has been left undefined, albeit unintentionally. As our CRC Interns work with their peers and establish relationships within the neighborhoods, they’ll be given the opportunity to reflect about events they coordinate, programs in which they participate, and goals and ambitions they cultivate during the course of the year. Essentially, this blog will be a platform for the student perspective. It is my hope that this blog becomes another component of our over-arching mission – to help residents become enamored with the unlimited potential that comes with community.
I am very excited about the upcoming year, and I invite all of you join me as I welcome another school year and another crop of CRC Interns for 2009 – 2010!
In the Spirit of Community,
Chris Sell
CRC Intern Coordinator
