South Side YMCA Chicago, Illinois
In the city of Chicago there are a variety of YMCA's and they are a fantastic organization. They are a community center with a gym inside. YMCA's strive to bring a community together and be a safe haven for children and adults. I am the intern for the Sports Department and have been placed in charged of three major projects.
First project is called CARA Road Scholars. This is program for high school kids and we get them prepared for running a half marathon. Through the program they will receive free running shoes and other gifts if they stay in the program from the full 12 weeks.
Second Project is implementing a soccer program at the Y.
Third project is that I am in charge of the 3- on- 3 basketball tournament
Along with these responsibilities I am also required to learn all aspects of the Y and the sports department.
