Working for the Betterment of California's San Joaquin Valley: A Look Inside One Kroc School Student’s Summer Internship

This summer, Kroc School students who are part of the MA in Peace and Justice (MAPJ) program have internships working with peacebuilding organizations in the United States and around the world. Before departing for their internships, students were asked to share updates from their internship experience, and this is one such contribution from MAPJ student Jeniffer Rivera Rodriguez. This summer, Jeniffer is interning with the Center for Community Transformation at the Fresno Pacific University whose mission is to "Work for the social, economic, physical and spiritual welfare of San Joaquin Valley communities." Stay tuned for more updates from these students this summer.

About the Author
The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) launched in 2001 with a vision of active peacebuilding. In 2007, the Kroc IPJ became part of the newly established Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, a global hub for peacebuilding and social innovation. The core of the Kroc IPJ mission is to co-create learning with peacemakers — learning that is deeply grounded in the lived experience of peacemakers around the world, that is made rigorous by our place within a university ecosystem and that is immediately and practically applied by peacemakers to end cycles of violence.
