of internships at
Jewish agencies.

S
hira Anchill's internship at the
Michigan Jewish AIDS
Coalition officially ended last
week, but she found it so
interesting, she's still showing up for
work. So is Geoffrey Dworkin, an
intern at the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Anchill and Dworkin, both
University of Michigan students, were
two of 15 participants in the Jewish
Vocational Service's Jeannette and
Oscar Cook Jewish Occupational
Intern (JOIN) Program this summer.
The program, which ran for a few
years in the 1970s and has run annu-
ally since 1987, places local college
and graduate students in eight-week
internships with Jewish agencies.
The goal: to familiarize students with
Jewish communal structures so they will
consider working or volunteering for
Jewish agencies in the future.
"By the end, they are completely
knowledgeable about the agencies in
the community and have a sense of
what it's like to work as a Jewish com-
munal professional," said Debra Silver,
the JOIN coordinator. "By no means
do all people go on to work as profes-
sionals. Primarily they will go on to
lay leadership, or maybe they will be
more active in their synagogue. I'm
a
a
a
just trying to inspire some interest."
Graduates active in the Detroit
Jewish community include Hillel of
Metropolitan Detroit. Director Miriam
Starkman, Rabbi Amy Brodsky, for-
mer JVS President Dean Gould and
several employees at Jewish Home and
Aging Services.
Interns, who receive a $1,650
stipend, report to work Monday
through Thursday, then spend Fridays
touring other agencies and participat-
ing in discussions on issues such as
intermarriage, AIDS in the Jewish
community and anti-Semitism on col-
lege campuses.
Work experiences vary. Anchill
helped update MJAC's curriculum on
AIDS and other sexually transmitted
diseases, maintained the agency's
archival files and wrote articles for the
newsletter. And those were only a few
of her projects.
"We treated Shira as if she were an
c
administrator, not an intern," said
Andrea Nitzin, MJAC's education
department coordinator. "Our goal
was to have her see as many of the dif-
ferent facets of MJAC as possible so
she would have a well-rounded experi-
ence. And she was amazing, by far sur-
passing our expectations for what she'd
accomplish."
