YRCC Internships

Open Opportunity

Holiday Bingo at the YRCC was a success. The morning started out by making sure the gym and kids room was ready for guest to arrive. I was in charge of standing and helping to pass out the prizes for winners of our bingo games, so I made sure my station was ready to go. After the event started, I spent time back and forth helping the kids and passing out gifts. The event ran smoothly and it was a special time watching those in community come together for the Holidays.

This week at the Yvonne Richardson Community Center, it was time to set up the supplies and decorations for Holiday Bingo. The event was Saturday 12/2, so I arrived to the YRCC the night before to help prepare for the next day. I put out tables, chairs, table cloths, decoration, the prizes to win, the food station, and ultimately made the gym feel welcoming for the following day.

This week at the Yvonne Richardson Community Center, I worked on receiving the last donations for the Holiday Bingo on December 2nd. I called and emailed companies to get final prizes for the event. I also followed up with companies that needed a manger in the store to approve donations.

This week at the Yvonne Richardson Community Center, I meet with Josh and made a game plan on when and where I will retrieve the prizes for Holiday Bingo. We sat down and walked through the information I will give each company as well as the flyers. I then sit off to collect prizes in the community. When going to these restaurants, companies, and store, I gave a packet filled with information about the YRCC and Holiday Bingo.

This week I finished making calls for possible donations for the Yvonne Richardson Community Center. I had finished over half of the calls the week before so I made sure to complete the calls this week. I also sent out emails to businesses who preferred email as their source of communication. I also followed up with businesses who I had left voicemails for the week before and found times to pick up the items.

On this day at the YRCC we colored for a bit then went outside. It was so nice outside and getting to hang out with the kids and enjoy the nice weather was amazing! I played for a little with Zena and Chase for a bit then we went inside. I didn't get to read with Josh today, but I sat in the computer lab and hung out with the older kids. We then went back outside because the weather was so nice and just enjoyed the good vibes!

This week I began making calls for the Yvonne Richardson Community Center looking for possible donations for our event. I first started by going through and making sure we had every email and number from the businesses. I then starting making calls and asking for times to pick up the donations and updating the spreed sheet to keep Josh at the YRCC involved and up to date with all the information.

I started my time off at the YRCC coloring with some of the kids while they ate their snacks. It was too cold to go outside this day so we just hung out inside. I played 4 square with a group of kids and colored some more. I then read with Josh and today was a really good reading day for him. He normally gets distracted, but today he read 4 picture books without getting distracted. After reading time the kids ran a relay race and then played dodgeball. I helped decorate Halloween candy bags and played a little bit of dodgeball.
