I wanted to let you all know how much I enjoyed my internship at Common Ground. You guys have such a special team and it was a pleasure to work with all of you. Throughout my internship, I felt very supported and encouraged. I think you guys do a wonderful job welcoming people into the group and treating them as your peers.
Again, I appreciate the time I spent with Common Ground and the skills and wisdom you all so graciously gave. You are all amazing counselors and people, and it is reflected in your caring attitudes, constant desire to help others, and acceptance of your clients and peers.
