Intern Program

One of the unique aspects of the Journey With Me program is its optional intern program.

Via the intern program, the program leader can recruit a nearby college student to intern for a semester. A JWM staff member can assist in this contact if needed. The benefits to this are great and numerous:

  • Generations are linked as the intern and older participants work together. The intern becomes the eyes for someone with failing eyesight, the hands for someone with arthritis, the typist for those without computers, and the organizer for someone who has trouble capturing a story on paper.
  • The younger generation learns life values and meaning from the older adults.
  • The workshop leader's workload is lightened as the intern types for and assists the participants.
  • The intern gains valuable real-life experience and comes to value an older generation.

"I have seen the sparkle in the eyes and the ready smiles on faces from those sharing their works. I have seen pride and self-worth bloom at a time when health and other concerns could diminish same. Some participants have gone on to become published authors themselves, much to their own surprise, while others cherish their writing activities in a private manner. I would recommend Journey With Me to any organization who wants to participate in a well-designed and proved writing workshop program. ... Journey With Me is a bright light that just keeps shining."
