Community Spotlight: A Year of Learning, Service, and Growth

Over the 2025-2026 school year, Mid Michigan Community Action had the opportunity to work alongside Cam, a Social Work student from Ferris State University who completed his internship with our agency.

Working primarily with Outreach Coordinator Stephannie, Cam gained hands-on experience in many different areas of our work. Throughout the year, he participated in food distributions, attended community meetings and events, supported outreach efforts, and learned more about the many ways Community Action serves local individuals and families.

Internships provide students with valuable real-world experience, but they also bring fresh perspectives, energy, and enthusiasm to our programs. We are grateful for the time Cam spent with our agency and the contributions he made throughout his internship.

As a small token of appreciation, staff gathered to celebrate Cam's completion of his internship and wish him well in his next chapter. During the celebration, team members surprised him with a jersey from his time as a student-athlete at Ferris State University, a meaningful reminder of another important part of his journey.

At Mid Michigan Community Action, we believe in helping people reach their goals, whether that's through our programs and services, volunteering, internships, or other opportunities to get involved. We are proud to have been a small part of Cam's educational journey and look forward to seeing where his future takes him.

Thank you, Cam, and best wishes on all that comes next!
