So far, my internship has been a rewarding and enriching experience. My summer internship is with Keep Growing Detroit<\/strong>, a non-profit organization whose mission is to create a food sovereign Detroit, as well as supporting local farmers and adolescents through their Garden Resources program and youth\/early-development childhood programs. My summer research project is currently focused on developing an education environmental curriculum for the youth program, as well as diving in cross-training involving harvesting of summer crops, and helping with grants and land funds. Working with the community and team members at the non-profit has been a truly wonderful opportunity, as well as learning the craft and skill it takes to be a farmer. Whether that is looking at various articles about environmental justice or planting scallion seeds in trays, I have learned to present in the moment and focus on what is most important-building a food sovereign community in a city where there is a lack of food security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interacting with the fellows at DCERP has also been a great opportunity and I am glad I have gotten closer with many of them. One thing that has been interesting throughout this experience is how so many of our non-profits interconnect, and how we are able to offer various perspectives on similar issues we are dealing with during our internships. Whether we go on a walk downtown, have potlucks, or carpool together, it has been nice to share little moments that have brought together our DCERP cohort. I hope to explore various events with them in the near future, such as the Detroit Music Weekend<\/strong> and the Concert of Colors<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
