Having one week down\u00a0feels great, now I am completely aware of my duties and responsibilities during this internship. While it may not be exactly what I am looking for, I have no doubt I will learn a copious amount during this internship. After my full week at the Humane Society, I’m basically a main leader in organizing and running a summer camp with kids ages 8-12.<\/p>\n
I, along with three other interns, manage the activities for the kids from 9 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday. \u00a0We incorporate the animals in as many ways as possible, for example we have the kids do crafts to give to the animals who are at the Humane Society. We’ve given peanut-butter “pupsicles” for the puppies and dogs. We have members from the K-9 police unit come in to share information about their dogs in training and on the job. We also take a trip to the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet to explore all of the exhibits; specifically fish, turtles, and birds.<\/p>\n
The Humane Society has \u00a0scheduled a break until July 6th when everything will pick\u00a0back up in full swing. \u00a0Having some time off has allowed me to really research my next moves as far as education or career opportunities go. I have been looking into programs and education for a \u00a0management or operating position at \u00a0a non-profit organization. I also have been really interested in a masters program based on\u00a0education, using\u00a0my involvement with kids during this internship as a stepping stone, I am becoming more interested and can realistically see it\u00a0in my future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
