My summer internship at Hospitality House!

kekorn9

I am very grateful to have been able to intern at the Hospitality House this summer. Throughout my 150 hours there, I was able to learn and do a lot of new things. I gained first-hand insight into the challenges individuals experiencing homelessness face, as well as how to advocate for them and provide the best support and resources we could. I spent almost every day in the kitchen helping prepare meals and then running the food pantry. This was my favorite part of the internship. From serving meals, cleaning clients spaces, to helping with paperwork, surveys, and pre-screening forms, I was able to contribute to the Hospitality Houses'missions while building meaningful connections with the clients. 


My favorite memory of my internship at the Hospitality House was when I was assigned to conduct surveys on clients. This allowed me to listen to what needs, challenges, and hopes clients had for themselves and write them down in hopes they can come true. In addition to that, I was able to have great conversations with the clients and learn more about their lives before homelessness. The genuine gratitude and appreciation expressed by many of the clients for being heard made the process even more meaningful.


I am very thankful for the experience I have gained, the relationships I built with clients, and the friends I have made during this internship. This internship not only expanded my knowledge and understanding of the homelessness issue in America, but also provided me with skills I can take with me in future endeavors. I am so thankful to the Hospitality House for this experience! This was a long and hard summer but an incredibly rewarding experience!
