Meet the Interns, Summer 2012
Shyla Dogan, MA, is a summer intern serving as the High School Youth Ambassador program coordinator. “I like the feeling of giving back, and it’s good to see the young people able to step out of their paradigm,” Shyla said. “It’s an opportunity for them to see what’s going on in the world.” Photo: Emily Coyle/IRC
