Internships Redefined

Here's the thing: I can play with concepts all day long, creating and linking vast intricate systems of theology that are amazingly cool to a no one but me. Before my brain injury, I could take this and make them semi-intelligible and useful to others. Since my brain injury? Nope. I try. But God's forced me to focus on other gifts, in part by removing my capacity to do most other things.

That's where things get really cool. Kids in later high school have an enormous skill set in often very focused areas and are often looking for experience. Homeschoolers and Catholic schoolers are especially likely to be a good fit, though I'm open to talking with all actively Catholic kids.

Intern monk(ie)s will be paired with a volunteer adult (often me) who will serve as their supervisor/mentor, though interns are expected to be very self motivated and "figure out a way" type folks. (as an aside, the term monk(ie) comes from my own interchangle use of these terms with our daughters. I think both tend to fit us more than we like to think! Grin.)

I'm looking for help with a wide variety of projects to get weCatholic going as a start-up. Combined with the internet, it seems an inspired fit (though I say it myself!).
