Intern Spotlights | Our highlights come from our Health and Human Services (HHS) Academy today. Brooke is with Mission 25 Community Outreach Services at Miami Village Community Center. Brooke says, "my absolute favorite part of my internship experience is knowing that I am making at least a little bit of a difference in those kids' lives. It is one of the best feelings to see the kids' faces light up when they see me at the door of the community center after they get off the bus. I hope that I can continue volunteering and helping out at the community center in the future." Lauren is placed at Brook and Co. Salon and says "I've benefitted from this experience already in how enhanced my people skills are now." #WCCSExperience #Interns #WorkBasedLearning
