Central OAC has added a second year-long intern through the Young Adult Volunteer program of the Presbyterian Church (USA)-DOOR. Traditionally, we have had only one year-long intern but, through the generosity of one of our supporting foundations, we have been able to add a second intern for 2011-12.  

Thomas Guthrie

Our new addition is Thomas Guthrie. Thomas is a native of Tallahassee, Florida, and is a member of First Presbyterian Church Tallahassee. He graduated from Florida State University with a double major in Business and Hospitality Administration . After graduation, he was hired by Hyatt Hotels and completed their management training program.

"At the completion of my management training program I decided to take a different path. I've always thought about working in ministry since I served as an assistant Christian educator at First Presbyterian during college."

According to Thomas, he selected Atlanta and Central OAC for his internship because of the diversity of the city. Also, he had volunteered with the homeless shelter in Tallahassee and wanted to work with a larger and more established organization.

"I am very excited to be living in an intentional community this year with the other YAV's and doing mission work throughout Atlanta. I hope this year helps guide me to the right career path!"
