Reviews

Camp Counselor

May 2019 - August 2019 Chicago, IL
“What I really like about working as Camp Counselor at the YMCA is that everyone there is like family and if you are ever in the need of help they're are there for you. As someone who has been struggling in being able to land an internship since freshman year, the YMCA has been continued to offer me a job whenever I am in the look for a job. What I also like about working at the YMCA are the wonderful little souls (the children). I've grown to care for these kids as if they were my own, and being able to be a role model to them is amazing. Being able to see the children grow through these 3 yrs has been very amazing and fulfilling. ”

PR/Communications Intern

June 2018 - August 2018 Chicago, IL
“One favorite aspect of my internship was the amount of responsibilities I was given- truly making me feel like I was a part of their staff. I also enjoyed how diverse all my tasks were. My supervisor allowed me to take initiative on many projects, including curating content for blogs and developing other digital marketing content. I also contributed stories and helped edit the YMCA of Metro Chicago's 2017 Annual Report. Having the opportunity to conduct interviews with Y members and staff was yet another favorite part of my internship. ”
