Helped set up for the study abroad fair and provided information for prospective students at the Salzburg AYA table. I liked sharing my experience! My year abroad gave me a lot of knowledge about the program and I was excited to talk about it.
Over the course of my year abroad in Austria, I helped the study abroad program with social media, connections, and outreach. I was a part of the social media team to run the Instagram with weekly meetings, I helped with the program T-shirt planning and formatting, and I created a short documentary film about the experience of study abroad students living in a new country. I wasn't able to attach this link as a file, but here is the link to the short film: https://youtu.be/maz3dMeIhno?is=ufsiGTKgOPOduD_u
I liked working here and seeing the animals! I would come back again, as long as my allergies don't cause a problem.
Helped to package and label frozen food items for distribution. Worked collaboratively with other volunteers, and the process was streamlined by teamwork.
This time, they brought up the issue that a lot of cards have to be thrown away because they didn't meet the requirements. I made sure to follow the rules very closely, put in plenty of effort, and write a longer and more meaningful message.
I participated in a focus group that discussed BGSU classes, our feedback on them, and how we would improve them if given the chance. I was excited to be a part of helping BGSU to help students as much as it can.
I like working with this organization because it's a way I can be creative while helping my community. The environment is very friendly and welcoming.
I really liked working and interacting with the kids. It was a positive experience and everyone was very kind and helpful.
It was nice to see the tangible results of the volunteering through the big tubs of completed bags. We ran out of some items and some bags didn't have every item in them.
