| Interns Jackson Core, Katie Thiebaud, and Tanner Thompson |
We are thrilled to have these bright students working with
us this Spring. Katie and Jackson started their internships last Fall and they
quickly engaged themselves in the community and volunteer opportunities. Katie
is learning how social work is so important in the church and in the
communities we serve. Tanner jumped in quickly working with volunteer groups
and tackling overall operations policies and procedures. Tanner is a Micah
Fellow at Samford and hopefully we will be with us for 3 years. Jackson will be
working closely with church partner, True Vine, as they explore the possibility
of several business operations in the Inglenook community. We love the
excitement, curiosity, and commitment these interns are bringing to working
with the church and in under-served communities.
Katie Thiebaud, Masters of Social Work
I am from Dallas, Texas and I am working on a Masters in
Social Work at Samford University. During my time at Christian Service Mission,
I hope to gain a closer look and better understanding of how a non-profit
operates behind the scenes, as well as what all a social worker can incorporate
within the non-profit community. I also hope to learn how policies and policy
developments help or hinder non profits like Christian Service Mission and the
communities they work with. Lastly, I hope to gain a better understanding of
how to care for the specific clientele that Christian Service Mission works
with. I have loved my time so far and I am looking forward to what all God has
in store for this semester!
Jackson Core, Finance
I am from Orlando, Florida and I am a senior at Samford
University. I have a major in finance with a concentration in social
entrepreneurship with a spanish minor. I am hoping to gain a deeper
understanding of sustainable business solutions for non-profits. I am also
hoping to learn about community development through the lens of a Biblical
worldview.
Tanner Thompson, Business Administration
I’m from Spanish Fort Alabama and am currently enrolled at
Samford University. Presently, I am studying business management and I hope to
work in the non-profit sector once I graduate. While at Christian Service
Mission, I hope to learn more about how a successful Christ-centered
organization is operated. In addition, I am excited to see how Christ continues
to work through Christian Service Mission in order to further the Kingdom of
God and parter with others to fulfill both physical and spiritual needs.
