GOOD NEWS: Shyheim Jones is a senior at Virginia Union University, double majoring in social work and religious studies with a minor in education. Recently, Jones completed an internship with Kenya Gibson, who represents the 3rd District on Richmond City Council.

A first-generation college student from Chesapeake, Virginia, Jones has used his time at VUU to develop his leadership skills, gain real-world experience, and strengthen his commitment to serving his community.

During his internship, Jones divided his time between City Hall and the community, gaining firsthand experience in local government, constituent engagement, and public policy.

“We looked at policies, we would be at different avenues, and we canvassed to find out different complaints people in the district had,” Jones said. “We went out into the community and informed people about district meetings that would be coming up.”
