So I just finished up my last week of my internship. It just flew by! I can't believe that it is finally over. I really enjoyed my internship experience. Even though I have worked in youth sports before, being an intern really gave me a wonderful opportunity to shadow employees in many divisions of the department. It really opened my eyes to how everyone in the department works together and how they meet to make decisions for programs and events. Especially with the reduced budget, some programs, especially those that are free to the public, cannot pay any part time staff wages so they have to depend on donated time from the full time employees which really keeps the employees department-wide supportive of each other's events.
I have been involved in many projects such as the accreditation of the department, the creation of flyers and coaching material, park closures and clean up, special events, park construction, sports site supervison and many, many others. I have gained a great deal of experience and knowledge that I can use in the future.

Congratulations on finishing up an awesome internship! That's great that you got to experience all of those different improvements and modifications that the organization was going through. It's good to hear that you were able to learn so many things and that your eyes were opened up to various departments and you were able to appreciate every department for what they did.
