This is our internship at NYC Cat Coalition. NYC Cat Coalition is a cat rescue center. Many of these cats were abandoned and left on the streets. Many of these cats suffer from anxiety and are fearful of people. Many of these cats were abused. Students also play with the cats, feed the cats and perform light maintenance onsite. Students are helping with the rehabilitation of these cats so that they can find loving homes.
This is our internship at Our New Way Garden at Pepsico. The Our New Way Garden organization was created to educate the public locally about naturally grown food, to increase community access to healthy organic produce, support small local businesses and provide productive activities and positive sources of income for youth at a time when opportunities are limited. Students help plant and harvest vegetables.

It has been great seeing our gold section getting larger every week!
