The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office’s External Engagement and Governmental Affairs Division led the DAO’s newest summer interns to North Philadelphia where they first paid a visit to Zion Baptist Church of Philadelphia and learned about the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Leon Sullivan, the church’s pioneering Senior pastor and founder of the Opportunity Industrial Center (OIC), a job-service training program to teach manufacturing skills specifically in communities impacted by crime and poverty. Sullivan’s legacy demonstrates the transformative impact that investment, education, and economic opportunity can have on communities.

The interns then visited Temple University Hospital (TUH) and toured its Trauma Bay with Scott Charles, TUH’s Trauma Outreach Manager and Director of the hospital’s Cradle to Grave program.

Before grabbing lunch at Max’s, the DAO interns walked the business corridors of Germantown and Erie to engage with the young people and business owners on the block. Congrats to the newest class of interns. We’re excited for the opportunity you’ll have at the office and in Philly.
