Advocate
Training:
The
following message comes from Stephanie Atella in the Wellness
Center:
We
have very exciting news! Due to the large number of students who expressed
interest in volunteering for Loyola's sexual assault advocacy line, but are not
state trained advocates, we are offering a 40-hour state recognized sexual
assault advocacy training for you through Loyola.
This
training is rarely offered outside of rape crisis centers. This is an
excellent opportunity to make yourselves eligible for volunteering for the LUC
sexual assault advocacy line and obtain a state recognized certification at no
cost to you!
The
training will take place from 9 am until 5 pm on the following
days:
1.
Friday
September 14

Saturday
September 29 (MAKE UP DAY) - You can miss ONE day of the training and MAKE UP
what you missed on this day. IF you miss more than one day you will not be
recognized as a state advocate.
More
about the training: If you attend this training you will be expected to commit
to volunteering for the Loyola sexual assault advocacy line for one or two
academic years (depending on whether you are a first or a second year graduate
student).
There
is NO COST associated with this training.
At
the end of this training you will not only be able to volunteer at Loyola, but
you will have a state recognized certification as a sexual assault advocate and
be able to volunteer at rape crisis centers in the state.
If
you are interested in this opportunity, please fill out the attached application
and return to me by August 15th.
Please
contact me if you have any questions at satella@luc.edu.
Internship
Opportunity:
The
following message comes from Kendra Fogerty at the Israel Idonije
Foundation:
I am the Executive Director
of a small 501(c)3 who is has a fall internship available for just the right
person. I want to reach out [to our] targeted group to see if you may be able to
pass this on to students who fit the bill for this opportunity. I am
specifically looking for someone with strong grant writing skills. Undergrad
preferred but graduate students are welcome. We have a strong internship
program here and for the most part we have focused on communication majors and
those interested in sports marketing. I have already begun the process for a
fall intern in that arena but there is space and need for a second intern who
can work directly with me to find grant opportunities, draft grant proposals and
work with me on editing and submission.
We do not offer paid internships therefore the students’
needs to be in a situation where school credit is offered, or be willing to
volunteer their time to the Foundation. I try to ensure our interns get a range
of exposure and experiences here based on their own learning plan and goals so
this will not be an isolating or limited
experience.
I appreciate your thoughts and recommendations and hope
that you may have some ideas for students who can benefit from this opportunity!
