Collaboration was at the heart of my internship experience with DCI. I was fortunate to work closely with the dedicated team at DCI, whose unwavering support and valuable insights were instrumental throughout the journey. It was through their mentorship that I gained a deeper understanding of the intricacies of community development. From the very beginning, Linda B played a pivotal role in connecting me to this opportunity.
Over brunch, my supervisor introduced me to several local businesses, including the Council for the Arts (CFTA), a nonprofit supporting the arts in Franklin County, REmix Design, specializing in interior design, and Cheerful Flowers and Gifts, a beloved local florist and gift shop.
Slide 10: Benefits and Impact
The property owner and business inventory projects presented their unique challenges. After about three weeks, the property inventory became more challenging as I had already identified a majority of the properties. For the business inventory, it was imperative for me to visit the stores to gather information that wasn’t readily available.However, I wholeheartedly recommend this internship. It’s conveniently located, making for an easy commute. This is especially advantageous for those without access to personal vehicles. My typical workday spanned from 10 am to 3:30 pm, occasionally extending to 4:30 pm. One remarkable aspect of this opportunity is that it doesn’t confine you to an office desk. You have the chance to venture out and engage with people, to witness firsthand the charm of downtown Chambersburg and its offerings, catering to individuals of all ages.
