Grey Face Rescue & Retirement was founded in 2015 by Bethie Gondeck and specializes in rescuing dogs and cats (ages 7 and older) that might otherwise struggle in traditional shelters. They take in owner surrenders, strays, and animals from shelters that can't care for them, then cover their often-costly veterinary needs and find them foster or forever homes. They're funded entirely through donations, volunteers, and community partnerships.

Yesterday, GSC hosted its first Community Intern Day, bringing together 36 interns from 10 organizations for a day of networking, professional development, wellness, volunteering, and community engagement.

From elevator pitches and a young professionals panel to a wellness walk and financial wellbeing session, interns had the opportunity to build meaningful connections and gain valuable insights.

Our goal was to help interns feel more connected to the region, and based on the energy, engagement, and relationships built throughout the day, we'd call that a success.
