Review for Lost Valley Center Inc, Dexter, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As an intern at Lost Valley I have worked in several departments beginning in the Garden, kitchen, working with SASS and with the land crew and now with the Camassia Institute as the teaching assistant intern. I've really benefited from the opportunity to explore the different intern roles here to discover the one that most fit my interests. Working with the Camassia Crew has been amazing for me. I spend lots of time with the students and the instructors of our courses and I've really familiarized myself with the material. As I dive deeper into observing teaching styles, I've really begun to hone in on my own. I also work with the website, marketing and other office work making this internship very well rounded. Lost Valley has definitely provided me lots of chances to grow myself.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

The kinds of staff and volunteers that come to Lost Valley are excellent. Such motivated, inspired and interesting characters come from all over the country to learn here which creates a beautifully diverse experience!

Ways to make it better...

Lost Valley had an intern co-ordinator. With a grant or larger budget Lost Valley interns could really benefit from a stable intern co-ordinator position.
