During this week, I had been nearing the end of my internship and took on three projects this week. Upon completion of the camp, my focus had narrowed down to specific task in which I have been excited to do. The first project I have been working on is working with the Parent Engagement Coordinator to create a document with a list of low cost and free activities that families can do in the Columbus area. This was an eye opening experience because I got the opportunity to see some events and activities that I wanted to do on my own to further experience what Columbus have to offer. The second project I was working on was alongside the Chief of Programs and Partnerships in which I had to go through CIS inventory to gather some items for the Columbus City Schools back to school rally. Communities in schools will be having a booth that day and we wanted to showcase some items and have different templates out that will talk about the work that Site Coordinators do and the different schools that CIS was in. My role was to create a budget for different items that we will have for example some CIS sun glasses and sunscreen, a spinning wheel that will attract children and their families to the table for them to win prizes from the table. I plan on getting items for different age ranges so that there was a variety. Lastly, I worked on a power point that I needed to present to the CIS staff about Parent and Family Engagement activities during the school year for Site Coordinators. This was amazing to work on because I was able to be as creative as I wanted to give SC various ways on how they can engage with families and parents. Some of these included muffins and mittens where SC will give muffins to families and mittens during the winter to spark up conversation with parents about their child. Another one was FAFSA nights for those working with Highschool students because not every student’s parents graduated high school or went to college, so it gives them an opportunity for those who want to attend college to have someone go through the FAFSA process.
