Hometown interns began the summer at a retreat in Keith County where they connected with their peers and learned about asset-based community development, an approach to development that focuses on identifying and leveraging the strengths and assets within a community. Over the course of the summer, they worked alongside their supervisors and other members of their local affiliated fund on a mission to discover and unleash the assets in their community. “This internship isn't just about gaining experience,” said Becky Boesen, NCF community and cultural impact specialist. “It's designed to be a journey of self-discovery and shared growth. Together, we'll explore roads less taken, lift up hidden assets, celebrate the uniqueness of our places and co-create an experience alongside local affiliated funds that will add value to the future of both students and their communities.”
