Week 6, Last Week at HUM

I can't believe that my time at HUM is already over! I’m going to miss my site so much; but I am really glad to have some time off. While my role as marketing intern did not play out as I had anticipated, I am so glad that I was able to work both with food pantry and marketing activities.

I truly have learned way more than I ever thought I would. I learned more about the prevalence of homelessness in Volusia County as well as the politics surrounding it; I learned the finer points of Excel, the proper manner in which to answer phones, and how to make a sales pitch to businesses. I also realized that I really love working with non-profits; as of right now, non-profit work is definitely in my future.

As for PAL, games have finally started and everything is going well. The season goes through the end of July, so I’ll still be busy with basketball for the rest of my summer of service.

Anyway, it’s been so awesome working at HUM and I will definitely be back there in the future. I look forward to bringing my newfound knowledge to the Neighborhood Center and Bonner in the fall. Enjoy your summers and your summers of services!
