The Summer Jobs Network is another duPont Fund grant to help local students find and keep summer jobs and to help them learn more about work ethics and professionalism. Lindsy Gardner, director of the Lancaster Community Library and a key member of the VISIONS team, helped Jack Russell write and obtain this grant. It is coordinated through the Rappahannock Community College.

Another great article of interest to the VISIONS team is one featured on the Everyday Democracy website. Everyday Democracy is the organization that has developed the study circle process we'll be using this fall. This website is full of great information, the link on the issue of poverty is well worth exploring. The article of local interest is the one on the Virginia Extension Agency efforts in Gov. Kaine's initiative to reduce poverty.
