I did a lot of excel work, planning for events, emailing people. I also went to a lot of the Huddles and built relationships there. I did some recruiting for leaders and trying to expand into different schools as well.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
I gained a lot of professionalism within emailing and asking a lot of questions to staff. I got to go to KC and learn from the people at the top. I built relationships with kids at the High Schools and got to see them grow within their faith.
Favorite Part of the Experience
My favorite part of the experience was our team meetings and getting to do work with a great group of people. I loved seeing kids grow in their faith and am excited to see them grow in their sports throughout summer camps as well. Being able to have my own schedule was great too!
