[tsl/leadership] Kicking off the new year of POC in Second Life
Time has flown since the end of the summer started creeping up on us here at GK and we were thrust into the new school year, and I've barely gotten a moment to step back and let the blogosphere know about some of the great stuff that's been going on. One of the exciting things that I'd like to share is the kick off the third year of the Power of Citizenry in Second Life program, alternately known as the Second Life Internship Progam.
We spent the month of September doing recruitment, and, with the help of former-program-participant-now-GK-program-intern Victoria Hanfoi, selected a group of ten great interns that will be leading events and projects in Teen Second Life in the coming semester. Some were old hands, veterans of a variety of Global Kids programs in TSL. Some had participated in our first project, Camp Global Kids in 2006, others were involved in our recent Deconstructing Darfur project, others made movies in our CRC Machinima Camp back in 2007. And, of course, we have some awesome returning interns that were part of the program last year. It's so great to have all these different programs support each other, and I hope that all the new interns will both support each other and the Teen Second Life community in the coming months.
Shout outs to all the interns (alphabetically, of course)!
