Description of your role and duties: Through this internship, I was able to participate in PASA's first Social Emotional Learning Professional Development Cohort which assisted program providers in providing more social-emotional resources and support to youth in their programs. Specifically, I helped with organizing the resources for the professional development activities and had the opportunity to evaluate a program and provide feedback and suggestions.
Description of the culture of the place: The SEL Cohort was virtual for the duration of the program, most youth programs were virtual during my internship, although I was able to be in person at PASA's office to help with preparation tasks. During this time, there were only a few people in the office due to the COVID Pandemic.
Special notes on the process of getting this internship: I had a prior relationship and connection with this organization, which led me to this internship. The staff at PASA are very organized and expansive, I know that they would be open to making more connections and having more interns in the future! Especially for onsite after-school programs, they are always looking for extra support.
