It’s hard to believe we’re already two-thirds of the way done with our internships! In the past six weeks, I have learned so much about what it takes to work at a non-profit, to live in Detroit, and to plan a health fair. At the beginning of June, I was beyond overwhelmed thinking about all that had to be done in order to successfully plan a whole health fair, from ordering t-shirts to securing sponsorships to making sure enough organizations would be willing to participate. Now that the health fair is a week from today, Destini and I have completed a majority of what needs to be done. I am definitely beyond excited for the day of the health fair to get here so we can see firsthand all that we have planned and accomplished.<\/p>\n
It has been such an amazing opportunity learning how to interact and network with other community organizations. I’m really grateful that I am learning how to plan an event as huge as this, as I think it’s taught me a lot about budgeting, time management, and working with other people.\u00a0After the health fair is over next week, I hope I can continue to play an important role at Friends of Parkside and make a positive difference for the residents here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
