First Rung Ethics & Leadership Development Program

Learning Together is pleased to announce that we were one of the recipients of the First Rung Ethics & Leadership Development Program Internship. Two interns from Ravenscroft will be working at Learning Together for six weeks during the summer.

This program is designed to introduce a career in non-profits to students at Ravenscroft and is funded by the First Rung donor advised fund at the Triangle Community Foundation. Learning Together is excited for the chance to continue our longstanding relationship with Ravenscroft and their students.

YouthWorks Community Partners

This summer, YouthWorks, a nonprofit, multi-denominational organization that serves churches, parishes, and communities through coordinating week-long youth service and mission opportunities, will be working at Learning Together. 

A group of 6-8 students will be working at Learning Together during the summer.  Through out the summer, the students will be coordinating a field day for our children.  The students will help to plan and coordinate the activities of the day along with practicing with our children for the events. 

Learning Together is pleased to announce this opportunity and we look forward to working with YouthWorks.  For more information on the program, please visit their website at www.youthworks.com
