Responsibilities at HERO

I am so very excited to have the opportunity to be a Hale Empowerment Revitalization Organization (HERO) intern. Interning at HERO will grant me opportunities to do the following things:


  • Design and Build "Edible School Yard" on HERO campus.

  • Participate in design/build charette for campus design master plan including rental pods and community kitchen

  • Mentoring & tutoring for the Youthbuild program

  • Organization and distribution for monthly HERO food pantry

  • Mentoring at Pie Lab (small business start-up model)

  • Organizing 2 community events for youth

  • Coordinating volunteer groups for construction


I am looking forward to participating and implementing these programs over my five week internship at HERO. HERO is doing great things in Greensboro and I am really excited to contribute in any way I can. 

Beginning May 25, I will be assisting a UA PhD candidate that is studying water quality in Hale County in conjunction with HERO.

I start interning on Monday, May 18. I will be in Greensboro at 8 AM each morning and get off at 4:30 PM each day. 

I will post soon.
