The main purpose of this internship is to use the information we learned in class to be applied to how we interact with people outside. On the third day of the YWCA internship, I went around hospitals in Oakland and multiple BART stations in Alameda County on behalf of the District Attorney's office to put up posters having to do with human trafficking. We had to use an app named Map 1193, which has a list of different places that need to have a poster up because it is required by law. It was an interesting experience because some places were a hundred percent willing, while other places said no because the topic was too heavy or because they need to get permission from a whole bunch of different people before they can say yes.
The rest of my internship with the YWCA will mainly consist of working on my advocacy project, which is to keep walking around and raising awareness, but also somehow making people at school more aware about the issue as well.
