My Overall Work Experience AT TLOC By Beatrice Elam

Working at the TLOC was something very different. It wasn’t what I expected but the people that I worked for and with made it a very fun and good summer job experience for me. It gave me a good out look on the business world and what all it takes to get and keep a business up in running. Working here taught me morals and how to value all the things that I’ve worked for. I’m happy that I was able to receive the work experience that I did. This was a good community center outreach program. My job working at the TLOC was to promote the Youth Against Violence Talent Explosion, help make a newsletter, and work on different blogs and create different flyers. We walked around and talked to the people all day explaining what was going to be happening with the talent show and why we were having it. We also asked them to come up to the center for try outs. I learned how a persuade people to come out and donate to a good cause.

I think that the talent explosion was a good way to get kids and parents to come together as one and see what’s going on. I also think that is a good way to promote the Link and Option Center. It gives people a good view of what’s going on at the center and how we’re trying to help the youth. You can also attract good donations and sponsors by having an event like this. The talent show will give people something to look forward to. They can come out and support their family and friends that’s apart of the show and just have a good time. I think that the talent explosion is going to turn out very nice and it’s going to help a lot of people in the community. 

Over all this was a good summer job. I received a lot of good help and advice from my supervisors. They worked me hard but at the end of the day I know that it was for a good cause. I know that all the walking in talking to the people in the community will help keep a lot of the youth off the streets and out of trouble. TLOC is a good environment to be a part of. They teach you respect right from wrong and morals. I really think that this work experience will help me out in the long run with my business aspirations.
