-* Program Description:
+* Program Description: The volunteer internship program makes it so that people who are looking to get credit for their work at Free Geek through an outside agency, or who just want more structured experience, can do so without falling through the cracks.  Free Geek (hopefully) gains consistent volunteers through the program.
+* What best describes this program?
 *# '''Administrative''' (expected to support other programs that generate income and/or meet program needs)
 * Why does Free Geek need this program?
+It makes it so we can better serve a portion of our volunteer population (those who are working through school programs or vocational rehab programs), and thus donates to the fulfillment of the "job skills training" portion of our mission.  Interns also help take a load off staff members by completing on-the-ground work that would most likely fall on staff if the interns weren't there.
