My Internship: Salvation Army, Week 4

This week was pretty relaxed as far as work went. A lot of the time was spent on finding background audio for some promotional videos that were going to be used at the big end of the year Salvation Army "Need Knows No Season" event.

Next week I will get to go to the studio where Salvation Army in Central Ohio has all of their promotional videos recored and edited by professionals.

Until next week, have a good one!

My Internship: Salvation Army, Week 3

This was the first week I was able to do some graphic design work for The Salvation Army in Central Ohio.

I created a design piece that was to be placed on the website's homepage in the photo slider that contains a lot of the organizations upcoming events and campaigns.

This specific design piece was targeted toward their Hunger Knows No Season food drive campaign that is to take place at Central Ohio Kroger locations.

So far the internship is going well and I am getting a lot of freedom in the way I write and design pieces for the organization.

Until next week, have a good one!

My Internship: Salvation Army, Week 2

This week, as I dove further into this internship, I was able to work on some news writing and press releases for the Salvation Army. I contacted some business owners for sources on stories we were sending to the Dispatch and received some good advise from my supervisor on how to format and write these releases.

My supervisor is Kelli Trinoskey and has worked for The Salvation Army in Central Ohio for a few years now as their director of public and community relations.

I found out that next week I will be able to start working on some graphic design pieces for the organizations website homepage. Definitely looking forward to that.

Until next week, have a good one!

Beginning of My Internship Process: Salvation Army, Week 1

This was my first week working as the Media Relations intern with The Salvation Army in Central Ohio. I applied for and received this internship a couple weeks ago and have just completed my first week of work. My schedule throughout the semester is going to be M-W-F after i get our of classes (around 3:30 p.m.)

This week I did not have much to do as I was just getting started and my supervisor was getting in order what all she had planned for me this semester.

I worked on updating the Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn connections of The Salvation Army in Central Ohio as well as looking over past press/media releases so that I could get a feel for the writing style of The Salvation Army.

I am looking forward to what this internship will bring about in myself. I have never done anything with a non-profit so that is something I'm really looking forward to.

This blog will now turn into a week-to-week update on how my internship is going throughout the semester.

Until next week, have a good one!
