My Internship (2 of 12)

My internship is with the Monongalia and Preston Counties Literacy Volunteers, Inc. This is a non-profit organization that teaches adult learners to read. They also offer tutoring in ESL (English as a second language) and basic computer classes. I am working at the office, which has a staff of two.

I have a lot of work to do this semester, including editing and updating the Monongalia County website, and perhaps making a new one for Preston County. I am also going to create documents to implement a new personnel policy system and create a planned giving form.

The Monongolia County website has much more information than Preston County's, it just needs a lot of updating and organization. I have been working on the external links page, which is about twelve pages (when cut and pasted into Word) of unorganized cut and pasted information, mostly from emails sent to the director. I am working on organization via categorization and headings, and also checking the links (63 of them) to see if they work, and finding new ones if they don't. I am also writing descriptions for them. At the page stands now, it is completely unusable and intimidating for anyone that would try and get information from it. I am working very hard with its design, and trying to make it as user friendly as possible. There is a lot of very good information there that will be able to be easily accessed when I am finished with it.
