Having an internship in college is an advantage; it helps you by being ahead of the game. You gain experience, relationships and possibly a future career opportunity. Parks and recreation have three essential values: economic value, health/environmental benefits, and social importance. My position in the organization is an intern so I work side-by-side with the city staff, learn about the local government, and gain professional experience. Also, I participate in working on projects, developing surveys, and creating/analyzing projects. The mission of this organization is to use recreational opportunities to improve diverse services that promote programs for community involvement and increase the social, cultural and physical well being of the community. Some of the goals that Parks and Recreation try to achieve are to provide safe, green parks for the citizens of the community. Another would be creating future plans to …show more content…

An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting.

No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.
My first real interview: I was applying for a hospital internship program called the Pathmaker Internship. I felt that I had done decently, but there’s always that one thing. The one that you think will ruin all your chances of success. Next came the waiting for that dreaded rejection email. Nevertheless, that grueling month went by and one night, by surprise, I received that dreaded email.
By doing this, young adults are able to better understand themselves and truly discover their unique identities. A career is a very important part of someone's life, so by exploring various fields, individuals are better able to come closer to finding their passion or "dream" job. An internship can also build valuable connections that can be utilized later in life. This quote really spoke to me since it explicitly stressed that point of "taking on" an internship and how it can provide people with certain

I think providing opportunities to socialize and have adventures are a great strength of the recreation center, because residents could easily participate new activities with moderate price and near their houses. Christie graduated CSULB with Recreation major, but did not get any certification to become a recreation service supervisor at the city of Fountain Valley. When she was little, local parks had summer programs and socialized with with kids a lot. She wanted to give similar opportunities to current children, therefore, she put more attention into kids’ programs like dancing class, football program, baseball class and etc. City of Fountain Valley is providing various sports, education, arts, and health programs from youth to seniors. Christie said she loves working with youth and activities that she could learn new adventures. Currently, contracted classes, which is hiring companies, are booming because those are more efficient and cheaper. Usually, companies provide basketball, softball, and other classes. In addition, intergenerational program is a hot trend. Through intergenerational program, parents are remembering their kids’ moment, and spending time with their children. Intergenerational program levels are the entry levels, so both generations could learn easily and enjoy their family time. It was a great experience to know that city
There are a lot of stores around the area. Many transportations including buses, cars, and trains. As well as plants such as trees, grass, weeds. This shows that there are a lot of plant life available. There are humans such as myself walking, running etc. Some schools are also around so that shows there are a lot of children and teens. The interactions here will have a big impact in building a park because there are so much available. Since there are a lot of stores, parents can go get some shopping done then afterwards take their child to the park to enjoy themselves and play with other children. The children have a huge impact on this because they will have a place to play instead of being bored at home or even risking playing on the streets. As for teens they can relax with their friends after school or before school depending on what time they begin. Since there are a lot of transportation around, people can come and go to this site easier. They can take a bus, train, or car. Another great impact is that there are open sidewalks in which people can also walk if they live

In the last 35 years, economic inequality has increased dramatically in the United States (Scott, 2013). As a result, individuals with lower socioeconomic status have faced barriers to access good quality leisure. Recent literature suggested that public parks and recreation leaders should develop positive relationships with influential partners when they are advocating for improved leisure service delivery for a population with lower socioeconomic status (Scott, 2013). Collaboration with partners can ensure that accessibility of park and recreation resources are improved. For instance, leisure practioners can readdress access inequities by depicting the problem as environmental justice and civil rights issues (Scott, 2013). In addition, literature suggests that policy makers should ensure that leisure education programs such as basic instruction associated with different recreation activities is offered to all to ensure that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status is aware of the leisure services and programs offered (Scott, 2013). This would reduce the income inequality, socioeconomic inequality and multiple structural barriers when it comes to accessing leisure. Furthermore, policy makers and leisure practioners should focus on improving indirect barriers to leisure access that arise from lower socioeconomic status. For instance, individuals
During an internship you would want to learn about the business that you are interning for. You wouldn’t want your experience to just be about answering phone and pushing papers. My time that I have spent thus far interning in the Athletic Department has not been a waste of time. I have learned that even though the Athletic Department is part of the school, it is still operated as a normal business. Also, I have learned that is very important that every

The use of special districts to administer parks and recreation services originates from a successful experiment by New York City in SSSS. The city created a commission to depoliticize the provision of parks and recreation services, which led to the development of Central Park. Following this model of success, a number of states now have some form of park district that span a range of services, including open space protection, land conservation, environmental education, and leisure activities. Local governments increasingly offload parks and recreation responsibilities to special districts because they require large capital investments and they benefit from district boundaries drawn according to public use. The impact of tax limitations and pressure on general funds also encourages development of park districts. Flickinger and Murphy () provide insight from a park director in Illinois who believes special taxing status is essential because park and recreation departments tend “to take a back seat to streets, police, fire, utilities, and other ‘mandatory’ services when time came to set or cut budgets and hire qualified personnel” (1990, p. 153).Though parks and recreation are a common form of district, research evaluating its success is limited in both quantity and scope.
Resource Conservation: The state park aims to preserve the natural environment and conserve the feature of scenic, archaeological, geological and historic interest. Also allowing all the natural environmental processes to continue without disturbance and maintain biodiversity.
My goals for the start for my internship were simple, but quickly evolved. My goals were to gain experience and build my resume, while bringing the lessons I have learnt in college, and using my skills as an engineer to help the department of public works. Now my goals have become more specific; I would like to learn more about sewer operations, I would like to develop my computing and design skills using the tools available to the Hydraulic section and I would like to mature as an engineering professional. While at the hydraulics section, I have access to programs like MUNSYS, as well as ArcGIS. As an intern, I update and maintain sewer related features on these programs. I would like to learn everything I can to develop my skills as a designer to help me become a better engineer.
