Welcome Arras Foundation Interns!

Together SC is proud to partner with our friends at the Arras Foundation (Lancaster/Chester, SC) and welcome Madelyn Allman and Hermone Siyum as interns this summer!

Madelyn and Hermone will be focusing on public policy and working with our Director of Public Policy & Community Engagemet to produce key case studies related to our Federal Pulse Poll Survey completed in May. Their work will help zoom in on how specific organizations are navigating changing federal landscapes and the impact these landscapes are having on their missions.
