Youth InterACTIVE
*Empowering Generation ACTIVE*
Over the course
of my applied sociology internship this summer, I was able to
work as an event coordinator with Youth InterACTIVE. This
was the best decision I could have made in regards to gaining real
experience that I would be able to apply to my future career.
Youth InterACTIVE (Y.I.) is a non-profit organization whose main goal
is to illustrate to children the importance of maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. The concept behind Y.I.'s efforts is that once you get
healthy, physically, you are able to improve other aspects of your life
more easily. They focus on education and leading the children to
becoming civically engaged and active. They are able to interact with
kids through after school programs and special events which were
coordinated by me!
The former event coordinator was recently promoted to Director of Operations and Y.I. had not yet filled the events position. Thanks to this, I was able to gain the whole experience. I acted as the lead in every project. I was completely responsible for creating and executing each event this summer from the ground up! I managed our volunteer database and supervised our volunteers during events. I maintained contact with our clients and demostrated my ability to actualize their visions. I was also responsible for reviewing applicants for instructor positions and directing them to the classes I felt they would best be suited for. I had my hand in nearly every aspect of development for Youth InterACTIVE.
If you want the entire experience I highly advise you to consider working for this team! You won't regret it!
