This week was not particularly busy with my internship. I only went in on Tuesday since Thursday I was volunteering elsewhere. On Tuesday, I sat with Bethany and Eve to review the schedule for the upcoming months. Since there will be a large event in March (the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology Conference – Dr. Wolek, I’m sure you are excited for this!) we rescheduled Bethany’s nature sketch club on that Saturday so she has more time to help out. We will be assisting the center on a few of those days to make sure everything runs smoothly. I then helped Bethany schedule posts on Facebook for events coming up at the center related to art and wellness. I was actually able to show her that instead of putting the link into the caption like she has been doing, there was a way to link the page onto the post itself which also eliminated the need to upload a picture since it allows the user to preview the page right on FB. I finished my time there by helping her find a picture to use for the painting workshop she had the next day with residents of a nursing home. Although it was not as eventful as last week, it was still exciting to be part of the process of marketing and planning events for a nonprofit, which are both such huge parts of running one!

Yes, I am aware of the WFAE conference and looking forward to it. So much work to do! Glad to read that we might cross paths on that project.
That’s great that you were able to show Bethany something that simplified her workflow on Facebook. That kind of information exchange is an example of how internships benefit their hosting organization.
