During my time here, I have been working alongside the town\u2019s borough and both local and statewide non-profit organizations to create community programs and coordinate food security efforts for the residents of Haines and the Mosquito Lake area. I am very grateful to the WLAIP Program for funding this opportunity in such a wonderful location and making this internship possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my time at the Mosquito Lake Community Center, I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of the non-profit world, including grant writing, marketing, fundraiser design, volunteer supervision, and program development. One of our most recent accomplishments has been securing a $13,000 dollar grant from the Rasmuson Foundation, to develop a two-month-long Community Summer Art Camp featuring local artists as instructors. Additionally, I have been part of the communication line between the Community Center and other local organizations to schedule volunteer work parties and media outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work that the Community Center is involved with and the image it aspires to become has been truly inspiring, and a great opportunity to acquire hands-on Community Development work experience. Through this internship, I have gotten to meet and create bonds with community members, which has been one of the most rewarding aspects of volunteer work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Mijangos Sampsell &#8217;24 &#8212; This summer I have had the opportunity of interning at the Mosquito Lake Community Center, in Haines, Alaska.
