Hello! My name is Trinitie Long-Hindman and I am beyond excited to be interning with Oregon State University Extension Service here in Lane County. I am currently a Lane Community College student where I am getting my associate degree in human services, with aspirations to move on to Portland State University. My area of interest is interacting with youth. I enjoy working with youth because it allows me to be part of tomorrow\u2019s leaders and I find that fulfilling and with this internship I will be able to be a part of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

I began my internship with 4-H at the STEM camp that was hosted in Lane County, at our office. Within this camp the youth interacted with various activities regarding Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. 4-H program focuses on empowering young people through hands-on learning experiences. One of my main responsibilities was to help organize and facilitate workshops for this camp. I enjoyed interacting with the youth participants who were enthusiastic and eager to learn. I love being blessed with the opportunity to guide them through challenges, celebrate their successes, and witness their development into confident individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also began working with SNAP-Ed at the Bethel Farm Camp. With this camp we showed 4<\/span>th<\/span> and 5<\/span>th<\/span> grade students how to make healthy food recipes. We provided them a hands-on learning experience while promoting healthy eating habits. In addition, I have also spent time working with forestry. This week I made an outline for a new episode for the podcast <\/span>In the Woods. <\/span><\/i>For this episode we will talk about youth and forestry and what programs are available to youth in our community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead I will be helping organize and prepare for the Lane County Fair and summer Extension camps. I am eager to experience these up-coming events. In addition to be able to enhance my professional abilities. I am given a unique chance to develop a diverse skill set that spans community outreach, education program design, and (my favorite) youth engagement. I am beyond ecstatic about the prospect of growth both personally and professionally, and I look forward to leveraging this experience to build a solid foundation for my future career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
