Last week we said goodbye to an extraordinary group of summer interns. Having them with us in the office and at our Harlem LitCamp has truly enriched and energized our summer.

"It’s hard for Moore to pick the single most exciting aspect of her internship. “It's all been so rewarding,” she says. “I’ve loved getting to know the staff.

Last year, she created a mini graphic novel in the community-based learning course, Reading, Writing, and Teaching, and she plans to do more. “This internship has given me a new look at education. I think it will really apply to my future.”
