Internship Update!!

Tweet

Today was my first actually face to face meeting with two women from the Health Department to discuss them setting up some nutrition/wellness events at the farmer's market on Fridays. We are planning on having an event set up for the second Friday in June. My internship is going good so far. I have been working for 3 weeks now and haven't gotten a lot of hours yet. I only have 17 hours of my 80 hours completed but I do still have the rest of summer to get all of my hours in. I am volunteering next Saturday to sell Christmas ornaments for the DDC and that will be at least another hour or two down. I have some flyers to hand out for a community meeting and a Spring Fling event the DDC is holding and I get hours for that. I also get hours for attending these events, volunteering at them, or participate in the sessions they hold. Like I have posted in past discussions I am also being put out on loan to three other organizations that deal with children. I am at one on Tuesday nights called Gang-Free and I get 3.5 hours there. I will hopefully be starting at the Boys & Girls Club and the YMCA by next week and will be getting 3 hours from B&GC & 3.5 from YMCA. With just the hours from these organizations, I will be able to get over my minimum of 80 hours for the class. I am really enjoying this internship and have already met a lot of people who can help me a lot in the future.
