Lifestyle Enrichment InternAt — Broadmoor Plaza / Humangood
The Lifestyle Enrichment Intern would work directly with the Life Enrichment Coordinator and Resident Services and assist in enhancing the lives of our residents in ways that support and foster independence and individuality. This role will provide an opportunity for the intern to learn about developing a program and appropriate activities for residents. Interns will see how activities need to accommodate individual differences in age, health status, sensory deficits, lifestyle, ethnic and cultural beliefs, values, experiences, needs, interests, abilities and skills by providing opportunities for a variety of types and levels of involvement. Interns will get to interact with our residents and will be able to practice good communication skills, organization skills, patience and flexibility and professional confidentiality. We hope that the Intern will be able to assist with organizing classes such as English second language classes, Chair Yoga, and various other classes.

At the end of the internship, we hope that the interns will have been able to practice any skills related to their majors and that they will be able to leave with better communication skills, organization and event planning skills.
Training will depend on the student's abilities. We aim to set them up for success at their responsibilities, many of the tasks will be done together with the Life Enrichment Coordinator.
Safety protocols will be reviewed on an as needed basis. General safety common sense is required in the office environment and for any activities that interns may participate in.
We would like schedule and interview with the students prior to accepting the students as an intern to make sure that they will be a good fit in our community as the interns will need to interact with older adults and we require a friendly, caring and patient disposition.
