Summer’s End
It’s hard to believe this summer is already coming to an
end. It seems like just yesterday I was starting at Save the Harbor Save the
Bay, unsure of how the summer would unravel and what projects I would be
working on. This summer I was technically an environmental policy intern;
however I got to step into the shoes of a communications intern, participate in
donor outreach, and lend a hand at various events. The opportunity to
participate in all of these various tasks truly made for an interesting and memorable
summer. As a policy intern, I worked on researching the path and treatment of
Boston’s water from source to sink to outfall. As a communication intern I got
to work on press releases and creating Save the Harbor’s very own Instagram
account. Through donor outreach I had the chance to connect with community
members who share Save the Harbor’s passion for restoring, protecting, and
sharing Boston’s beaches and harbors. At events, such as the Fan Pier Fishing
Tournament and the Beach Bash and Splash, I was able to see firsthand one of the
greatest (I think) accomplishments of Save the Harbor: the ability to share the
beaches and harbors with Boston’s youth and the pure fun that they provide to
so many.
I have learned so much over this summer and am incredibly
grateful to Bruce, Patty, and all the Save the Harbor staff for the opportunity
and all of their help and guidance along the way. Here’s to a great summer!
