Every Sunday, I spend about an hour and a half with kids in grades 3-5 at church. During this hour, I serve as the MC/Host. Simply, I lead out the group games, assist in the Worship activities and help the students remain focused during the lesson. Prior to service, I spend time with the children and grow relationships so that I can become an older figure that they may trust and look up to. Adding on I also,

• Guided troubled individuals to tools and resources necessary for healing.
• Supported engaging, fun, and smooth-running events by helping with organization and planning.
• Communicated with staff members to stay informed about volunteer opportunities and events.
• Represented organization positively and professionally while providing community with much-needed services.
• Participated in volunteer orientations and training sessions to learn about organizational changes and mission updates.

During my internship hours, I help the DPT (doctor of physical therapy), trainer, and owner of Atlas Hoops; a local basketball gym near the airport. More specifically, a typical day may include:

- Getting rebounds

-assisting athletes during strength and conditioning workouts

-warming up athletes

-learning about different exercises and how they help

-playing defense on athletes to give them game experience

-cleaning up supplies

-score keeping

-building communication skills

At Atlas I have also:

• Liaised with interns to discuss issues and solve problems.
• Assessed progress and provided feedback to intern and team members.
