The program allows you to obtain 3 credits for Engaged Learning and contributes students with a $2,000 grant per semester. I had the opportunity of being an intern at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago in the position of Community and Government Engagement.

Catholic Charities as an organization, assists with housing, food, case management, and other services to transform the lives of immigrants, and homeless people of all ages. My job has been to retrieve monthly statistics from major projects imparted for immigrants sponsored by 150 parishes across Lake and Cook Counties. I am also a content creator for ongoing events and have assisted in translating documents for the public. I have also cited partnership projects on new development strategies for people who need assistance with their daily living.
