Please join us in welcoming our newest intern, Jo, to our team!
Jo is currently a second-year student in the Community Development and Action M.Ed. program at Vanderbilt University. She is passionate about supporting individuals and families, especially those who are justice-involved, in accessing the resources they need to live safe and stable lives.
Jo is committed to helping make U.S. cities more equitable and to contributing to efforts to eradicate homelessness. She values learning from people with experiences different from her own and strives to speak less, listen more, and lead with compassion.
This semester, Jo will be working alongside our Social Work Department, where she’ll gain hands-on experience while making a meaningful impact on those we serve.
When she’s not studying or working, you can find Jo running, gardening, searching for the perfect cup of coffee or sampling pastries as a self-proclaimed amateur pastry connoisseur.
We’re thrilled to have Jo on our team and can’t wait to see all she’ll accomplish. Welcome, Jo!
