What I Do
I first volunteered in December 2015 and am currently a summer intern; among other things, I update the database, enter information about past workshops, and update past Featured Writers interviews. I also participate in their fee-based workshops to help support the traditional workshops; I have participated in Prompt January 2016 and attended all four summer sessions of the drop-in workshops in collaboration with the Portland Art Museum. Lastly, I am an Inkwell member and make a small recurring donation to support their programs.
Reflection
Not many people would be satisfied with doing strict, repetitive office work, but I highly enjoy and feel satisfied with it. I learned how important it was to keep track of information and stuff. I also enjoyed standardizing past Featured Interviews by choosing fonts and the layouts of the documents. I would love to work in the nonprofit sector as my vocation since I want to make a difference.
