<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b>This Spring 2019 semester, we have 10 spaces for a civic engagement internship type opportunity taking place on our LIU Post campus. Interns will all be meeting together beginning on Thursdays from 3:00-5:00
on campus. If you have class until 3:20, you can still participate. This project will engage Westbury High School high school students in writing alongside college students, writing their stories together, building bridges across age, situation, and culture.
Westbury school administrators love this program and usually attend the culminating event at which some students read their final work. It’s a great networking experience and a terrific way for an education student to gain confidence with diverse populations
working alongside the high school students<span style="color:#1F497D">. </span>More information about Herstory can be found at

poverty stricken areas with high school students who do not enjoy the comforts and security of prosperity. Herstory writers workshop brings together people from all socio-economic environments to write their stories alongside one another. Having Herstory
come to work on our campus is a fantastic opportunity, please help us to grow our partnership with Herstory as we are honored to have been chosen as a site for their work with youths who come from diverse backgrounds in our surrounding community.
