Year 2!
We are thankful for our new classroom. Vivian Langley gave us her office space and expanded the Quality Resources Conference Room. We also received new chairs and tables in our freshly painted classroom.
In order to make this program a success the following agencies work together to help the interns towards their goal of employment:
- Cone Health Alamance Regional
- Alamance-Burlington School System - EC Department
