JPIC Intern Participates in WISC Summer Interns Meeting

By: Bayor Chantal Ngoltoingar


Last Friday, June 9 I had the opportunity to attend the annual Washington Interfaith Staff Coalition Summer Interns Meeting at the United Methodist building in downtown DC. The meeting was designed to introduce interns to processes with the WISC community and the federal government. It also allowed us to build community with fellow interns and provided a context for the current political climate and the nature of our work.


Discussions throughout the day centered around healthcare, ecumenism, the federal budget, immigration, and the legislative process. The day closed with a scavenger hunt on capitol hill.
