Project JOIN Is Showing Success *VC 11- Stacy Weinberg and Beth Cousens, JOIN interns at the Jewish Federation and the Jewish Communtiy Council, discuss volunteer recruitment with Debra Silver, who oversees the Jewish Vocational Service program. More than a dozen young people have joined the world of Jewish communal professionals as they work with and learn about the Jewish community of Detroit this summer. As part of the Jeanette and Oscar Cook Jewish Occupational Intern (JOIN) Program, 16 college stu- dents are interning at sev- eral area Jewish communal agencies. Supervised by Jewish Vocational Service (JVS), JOIN provides students with the opportunity to experience possible careers in Jewish communal service and to recruit educated young people to work in the community as professionals or volunteer leaders. The program, which helps students focus on their educational and pro- fessional - goals, places interns in agencies for eight weeks according to their interests. Interns work closely with professionals on a wide range of commu- nity concerns, problems and projects. They spend four days each week at their assignment and attend day- long seminars on Fridays. Organized by the JVS staff, the seminars include overviews of area agencies, tours of local facilities and discussions of current issues. They include in- depth discussions of com- munal history, as well as current and future chal- lenges in the Jewish com- munity. In addition, time is set aside weekly for the interns to share and assess their internship experiences. The Jeanette and Oscar Cook JOIN program is funded through the Jewish Occupational Intern Endowment Fund and pri- vate contributions, and sup- ported in part by the Allied Jewish Campaign allocation to Jewish Vocational Service. The 1993 JOIN interns are: Nancy Berman (Jewish Vocational Service). P.J. Cherrin (Fresh Air Society), Aric Cohen ( Kadima), Beth Cousens (Jewish Corn- munity Council), Lainie Goodman (Jewish Family Service), Julie Gordon (Jew- ish Federation Apart- ments), Alan Littmann (Jewish Community Cen- ter), Charlie Ornstein (Sinai Hospital), Elizabeth Rochlen (Hebrew Free Loan Association), Mark Sch- wartz (Fresh Air Society), cy, Meggin Silverman (JARC), Craig Sukenic (Agency for — Jewish Education), Alaine tc; Waldshan (Jewish Corn- I-- munity Center), Stacy Weinberg (Jewish Fed- CD eration), Marjorie White =< (Jewish Home for Aged) and Deborah Zorn (Jewish 20 Vocational Service).
