El Valor

Volnteer

February - June 2018 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

What I liked was the atmosphere and how the staff, employees where welcoming.The teachers and staff where professionals at all time. I was able to get to know each teacher, and staff and I build great work dynamic, even though I was a student. I liked that El Valor was open to help me out in my student hours for my program, such as, asking questions to staff/teachers, interact with children, and learning their routines, strategies, approaches, etc.

What I wish was different

What I wish to have been different would be to have started much earlier in doing my internship at El Valor because I enjoyed my time been there. I would have liked to spend more time at El Valor in terms of volunteering while in National Louis University doing Early Childhood Program student hours.

Advice

An advice that I would share about this experience would be that if a student wants to gain insight of their carrier they should volunteer or do an internship. Through volunteer work/internship the student can learn from people of their career path, student grow in their skills, and helped determine if the student is passion about their carrier choice.
