(Ripley Co., IN) - Catherine Streator and Brady Westerfeld are the newest interns for The Ripley County Community Foundation.

They will work on program development and implementation. Catherine will be a freshman at Indiana University. Brady is going to be a junior at Indiana University.

Both interns were asked about their excitement in joining The Ripley County Community Foundation. Catherine stated, “I am excited to start working with the community foundation because I am passionate about giving back and improving the quality of life of those around me. I am also excited to help Genesis develop and execute youth educational camps to provide students with the opportunity to learn something new and enhance their curiosity. I hope to gain a stronger understanding of what it means to be a philanthropist and foster my education skills.”

Brady said, “Joining the Ripley County Community Foundation will allow me to work with others and learn meaningful skills that will help me with a job in the workforce when I am done with college. Not only will this internship allow me to do these things, but it will also allow me to help improve and restore my community, which is of great importance to me.”
