AOIT Internship

Reflection    Being in class allowed me to show respect for teachers and the school. This allowed me to show respect in any area I work within a school like the elementary school and the Kraft YMCA office. The skills provided can include working with others and having good communication  skills. Throughout this internship, it would've been helpful if I knew before hand how difficult it could be at times to work with kids. They're very crazy at times and also very moody.

  Reflection:         My internship was through the Kraft YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association). The YMCA has many aspects and many different jobs that they offer. They are a nonprofit organization and they do a lot of charity programs such as 'We Build People' which focus' on raising money for families and for children to be able to go to summer camps. "The Y connects people of all ages and all backgrounds together and they mobilize local communities to affect lasting, meaningful change".     During this summer internship I will be making and finalizing daily activities for the kids at an after school program. Doing this means that I research activities that the kids can do and I put them in a spread sheet determining which ages can do which activities. I will also be clocking kids out with the mobile clock out app during after school. This includes using an iPad by managing the YMCA clocking out app, kronos and I also will be adding pictures o...
