Cool… just met with our proposed intern earlier this afternoon, and it feels like it could be a good fit. I emphasized that we really need a self-starter in this position—someone who will actively look for ways to make the space achieve it’s goals—and that if she isn’t she will likely find herself doing little more than making coffee, giving tours, and cleaning up the kitchen area. She seemed pretty eager about what we do and liked the idea of meeting with each of our members to get a taste of what they do and see what interests her most.
Thanks for the input, I’ll be sure to report back! andy On Dec 16, 2013, at 3:02 PM, Anne Kirby <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Andy, > > We have three high school students at our space.
