Internship reflection

On Friday, I went to the Ronald McDonald House for an hour and a half. I showed my supervisor a rough draft of a flyer I was working on for a Pop Tab collection for RMHC. She gave me some useful feedback on what to add, but overall she really like my design for the flyer. She wants to use the flyer to hang around town, but she would have to get permission from her boss.

I feel that my Editing class this semester has really helped me in my internship. I have already edited about half of the Volunteer Handbook for the RMHC. Before this class, I did not know the proper marks to make for editing a text. Now, I am getting a chance to improve my editing skills.

Ronald McDonald House

I will be interning this semester at the Ronald McDonald House. RMHC is a non-profit organization that is a "home away from home" for families of critically ill children that are receiving treatment from local area hospitals.

The projects that I will be working on this semester for the House are: re-designing their Volunteer and Guest Handbook, flyers, and applications. This internship is a good fit for me because I feel that I can use my skills that I have learned in PWE classes to re-design material for the RMHC. I will also be exposed to how a non-profit organization works and the benefits of volunteering at RMHC.
