Description of your role and duties: I was this year's STEM intern within the Community Investment Department. I sat in on Afterschool Leadership Circle executive and membership meetings where I connected with area nonprofit and education leaders and staff from PASA, Rhode Island Dept of Education, and Connecting Children and Families to name a few. I reviewed and collected data on past mini conferences and sent out DCYF certificates for training hours. I connected with community partners and surveyed youth development professionals working in the Cranston libraries or the Center for Dynamic Learning to mention a couple to shape a framework for what became an evening STEM mini conference on Sustainable Partnerships and Inquiry Based Programming.
Description of the culture of the place: There are about 25-40 people in the office on a given day. The dress code can be business casual for interns (button down/khaki pants, polo/jeans) were my combinations of choice. The office environment is very friendly, accommodating, and you can expect to enjoy delicious lunch leftovers by the coffee station from various meetings or gatherings.
