This afternoon was my first meeting at the Delaware Community Center YMCA with my mentors Jeremy and Erin. Jeremy is the Senior Director of Youth & Adult Sports and Erin is the Sports Coordinator. I contacted Jeremy through a mutual friend and he invited me to come in and discuss a mentorship opportunity with the YMCA.
There was no formal interview process, so we spent time reviewing the requirements of the mentorship and what my role would be interning at the YMCA. I will be assisting with various projects and activities throughout the YMCA, mostly with youth sports. I should have an opportunity to work with some of the other members of the management team and interact with the staff. I will also be assigned one or more projects to complete over the course of the internship. Also, because of extended hours from my day-job I will be working only a limited number of hours each week at the YMCA. Erin and Jeremy are willing to be flexible with my scheduling. And although it will take me longer to complete the internship than normal, I feel the experience will be just as valuable. So there will probably be many more weekly posts than most internships.
I am looking forward to getting started next week!
