What is the CAP?
During their term, each Intern will complete a Community Action Project (CAP). The CAP is a project that is separate from the service the Intern will provide to their site. To complete a CAP project, Interns identify an unmet community need and find ways to address that need. They are responsible for all aspects of the project: identification of need, research on how to meet it and its implementation. The scope of the project should be something that is manageable and can be accomplished alongside their normal service work. Examples of past projects include stenciling storm drains, creating composting workshops and coordinating a bike to work day.
