Third week assignment

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently.


This week I did some different activities, I was putting applications together to small leagues for little kid. The activity that I was more focus on was reseach on after school programs for youth and kids from 10-15, also I was calling youth to recruit for the Youth Court Program. I had to tell where I called from and then talk to them about the youth court program, and tell them how much money they will earn, also tell them about the hours and the date of the interviews for the program. This kind of activities helped me on how to communicate with other people, people who I have never meet before, however it show me how could be the work in an office. In addition as always listen to the hearing of Youth Court. This kind of activities are helping me to open myself more to the public, somehow it's helping me to develop my communication skills. It's interesting because somehow we are helping the community by give youth and kids something to do after school.
