Byvolunteering at Wesley Daycare in Charlottesville, Virginia, I learned a lot about child development by caring forchildren ranging from three months to three years old. During my time at Wesley, I had the opportunity to observestudent and teacher roles and a variety of teaching techniques. Later, these skills became important when Ivolunteered with the Migrant Aid program and had the opportunity to tutor two high school students. I now lookforward to serving as an advocate for youth education by working in your After-School Programs Division. I am prepared for this administrative role as a result of my position as an intern at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service last summer. There, I coordinated internship placements for over 200 students in the Charlottesvillecommunity. More specifically, I collected and organized applications, corresponded with students and sponsors viaemail and phone, maintained an updated Excel database of all internship sites and sponsor contacts, and created orientation packets.
