Company or Organization Help Needed to Host a Summer Intern

Could you help host a summer intern from the Boys & Girls Club at your company or organization? For the third year, the Jewish Federation of Madison has awarded Temple Beth El's Racial Justice Action Team a grant to help us place high school and college students served by the Boys & Girls Club to experience an internship to learn valuable job skills. According to Jewish tradition, this is the highest form of tzedakah: teaching someone to become self-sufficient. Companies and organizations can select whether to have a high school or college student and may host the student for six, seven, or eight weeks, up to 20 hours/per week.  Students are paid $15/hour, usually paid by the host site, but grant funds can be used to subsidize some of the costs.  Even if you can't host a student, perhaps you'd like to help contribute to the cost of a student at an employment site. To explore whether this opportunity is a good fit for your work site, or to contribute, please contact Betsy Abramson, 608-332-7867 or betsyabramson@gmail.com
