Responsibilities

Collaborate with coworkers and brainstorm lesson plans and activities for youth and family, interact and conduct events, prep for events, and partake in meetings to plan.

Accomplishments

I would say my greatest accomplishment at my internship was putting together a whole bunch of training videos for our volunteers. It was a ton of work and I had a small deadline.

What advice would you give?

Don’t overwork yourself. Whether that is with another job or just giving yourself time to unwind on your own, don’t overdo it. You need time to process and come down.
