As Children First continues to grow, so does our staff. The increased workload creates a unique opportunity to give local college students the chance to receive real life experience in a non-profit organization. We are pleased to announce the arrival of four interns this semester. Ranging in studies of social work to public relations, we are excited about the insight and dedication our newest staff members are bringing to the table. Let’s meet our interns!
· Rebeka Geer, CASA Social Media/PR Intern
Rebeka is a junior at the University of Georgia, pursuing a degree in public relations with a certificate in service leadership. Having spent a portion of her childhood in foster care, she understands the hardships that abused and neglected children face, and is passionate about giving them a voice. Last Christmas, she volunteered in an orphanage in Tanzania and she plans on joining the Peace Corps after college graduation. In the future, she hopes to use her first-hand experience within the child welfare system as a tool to advocate for children rights.
