On wednesday at my internship was a very important day, because I got to go into the field and instead of go to the agency with went out into the field. That day I went to a place with some body of the agency and I saw the process of how they recruit the young participant to join the program. Which I think it's a good way to reach out to this participants, because as young participant they most of the time won't be interested until somebody reach them to help the participants.is a speciall internship becaouse is very important this is a good story to tell.It was really interesting to see the agancy from another perspective.

Keelan Simpson is the Sports Coordinator of the Bloomington YMCA and his main responsibilities consist of running all sports programs at the YMCA, hiring the correct employees/staff to coach or help run the different sports programs. The different sports programs include youth summer camps, youth seasonal sports, and adult basketball leagues. The YMCA is a global organization that serves all individuals of a community, allowing them to have access to recreational sports, fitness programs and many other health opportunities.

Since starting, I have step-by-step integrated myself into various aspects of the clinic, although I admit that I still have a lot to learn. I plan on volunteering there long after this internship is over, so hopefully those things will eventually come. Volunteering there has illustrated the joy of healthcare that I have always imagined. Even if the private sector of healthcare is like Maliheh, as a doctor, I will make volunteer work a core tenet of my life. These experiences over my internship have helped contribute to that burning desire.

The main task of my internship was to gain more experience and knowledge of our respective field. Overall, the experience proved to be both enjoyable and rewarding. During this internship I used the skills that I learned from my Medical Assistant class and used them in the real world scenarios at the hospital. Also while I there I was exposed to new experiences. Such as performing Urine test on Drug and alcohol patients. For this procedure I had to stand in the restroom with the patient's and watch them urinate into a cup. I had to stand in the restroom with the patients because in the past they try and cheat the system. For example

The internship was a great overview of what the chiropractic and nutrition work entailed. It showed me a much greater detail of all the work that is required to run a business in the correct manner. During the internship, I performed some busy assignments handling paper work that was suitable and reasonable for me to accomplish. The doctor let me

The mission for the YMCA for youth is “Nurturing the potential of every child and teen”. Staff are taught that we must follow the mission statement to the fullest to insure that children will be able to fulfill their potentials. Also was said that many children, and teens do not have the resources to reach their potential so that is where the YMCA, and staff comes in. The YMCA tries to keep their mission alive by providing different classes, resources, and values to help youth. The are various programs, and services we provide for children and youth. Starting with childcare, camp, healthy food, education, sports, homework club, after school programs, classes, and many more. The YMCA is a non profit meaning it is goal is not making money, and makes most of their funds by fundraising, and membership cost. Although, the YMCA does not turn away anyone just because they do not have the funds to buy a membership. The YMCA provides aid for anyone that needs it, and welcomes them with open arms. Other ways the YMCA obtains money to keep their gym running is special events, and some programs that may have a fee.The YMCA main goal starting out was keeping young men out of trouble, and getting them the resources to find a job. That still lives on today, along with promoting healthy living. The YMCA hires people that fit under the safety guidelines for youth, and the same for volunteers. Every worker and volunteer must be able to pass a national finger print, and go through trainings

By means of a mission statement to put Christian morals into practice, the YMCA programs construct a beneficial spirit, thoughts and body for everyone. The influence is experienced when a person makes a healthy selection, the minute a mentor motivates a juvenile and when a neighborhood comes as one for the everyday or common good.

For my internship, I served under the Allegheny County Health Department in Pittsburgh, PA. I served as the National Health Corps Member for the Women, Infants, and Children Program as their Care Coordinator for all nine offices. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a supplemental nutrition agency that targets pregnant and postpartum women and young children ages 5 and under who are at risk of malnutrition. My supervisor Annie Nagy along with my mentors in the office made sure I was able to receive all of the materials and resources I would need to have a complete and successful internship.

This report will confront the issue at the Sheridan County YMCA and its lack of space for its After School Program. Over the last eight years since the program’s start it has become a wonderful opportunity for families in need of childcare in the hours between the children’s release from school and when they get off work. The program has gained a promising reputation, that being said, it has also gained a hefty waitlist of parents in hopes of their children being accepted into the program.

My internship experience at Texas Total Health has been a great learning experience. While interning there I had the opportunity to perform numerous tasks and jobs, which has helped me build on my nutrition experience. Before beginning this experience I was expecting to get the opportunity to work with clients and observe nutrition counseling in a real life setting. I also wanted to be able to practice creating client’s meal plans, and learn how a private nutrition business operates. On top of my expectations there was a job description of the intern position with many task to be performed over the semester. Now after recently completing my internship at Texas Total Health my experience did meet my expectations and the job description was accurate.

Many of our neighbors have asked the Valley of the Sun YMCA to organize a faith-based prayer event for our communities. Our local Chandler/Gilbert YMCA branch has held a Morning of Prayer for the past decade. With increasing popularity, the event has grown from 50 participants to 330.

The agency where I am completing my internship is called Center for Family Services. This organization provides a wide range of services. I am working in their Family First program. This program is a substance abuse program just for mothers who must attend drug court or have an open case with the Division of Child Protection and Permanency. These women are ordered to complete a substance abuse program. This program serves a diverse cultural and ethnic population who may have experienced trauma in their life. Many times, trauma and post traumatic stress can lead to substance abuse.

Although, I have to say candidly that I don’t feel that I accomplished or learned as much in the end as I had aspired to during the onset of each internship.
