That means I will be spending 7 weeks of Summer 2017 learning about the needs of the poorest residents in St. Louis, and learning how others are responding to those needs from a Christian perspective. I will be assigned to an intern team working among inner city children, recent immigrants and refugees, the elderly or disabled, or a similar group from St. Louis urban populations. Show less
