- Any other observations you may want to include

Please also make sure you make your internship supervisors aware of this assignment in case of any conflicts.

Due Date and Process:
Weekly updates should be posted via the Google blog spot every Friday by 5 p.m. ET. We want to use the blog spot as a way to spark conversation and dialogue regarding the various internship experiences. Each Young Ambassador is responsible for posting their blog to the blog spot at the end of each week. The Young Ambassadors Program staff will moderate the blog spot. The SLC will host discussions each week based on participant comments. We encourage you to use the blog spot to post pictures and other appropriate communications related to your internship or community outreach experience. The blog spot is a tool that you can use to communicate and share your experiences with your fellow Young Ambassadors. We hope that this provides an avenue for Young Ambassadors on-going conversation or charla.
