April is one of our foundation's "Amazing," Volunteers. She is responsible for our Twitter Feed and Updates. Hana Tariku (Our Blog Volunteer) had the opportunity to interview April:
Our next featured volunteer is: April Townsel. Townsel joins the foundation from Detroit, Michigan, and is currently attending Colorado Technical University through online courses. She has worked with the Barbra Senior Harkins Foundation since October 2018, volunteering in the social media section. Townsel learned about this program through an online ad on Indeed. She gladly accepted the position when the foundation selected her application from many others. Townsel’s job duties as a volunteer consists of helping with the Social Media Marketing and Management of the Twitter Platform. Her hard work helps further the foundation's mission of providing inner city youth with various activities and programs, such as film camp. Townsel has seen how this program impacts children of all ages. “Yes, it seems like the children have a joyful experience, with the foundation,” exclaims Townsel. She enjoys the experience and the opportunities she has received from this volunteership and does not plan to leave yet. Townsel states,“I will be with the Barbara Seniors Harkins Foundation for a while. I really like what I do, when it comes to helping the foundation move towards great things.” She would like to further her reach in this program as she expands her knowledge and skills in social media marketing and management. “I would like to have an opportunity for a Social Media Marketing Internship if that's possible. Until then, I will continue enjoying my current position,” says Townsel. Townsel’s diligent work not only benefits the Foundation, but also herself. She is gaining a better understanding of the career she plans to pursue. The career being, social media. Townsel would like to build on that, by owning her own social media marketing business. This mindset to continue to strive to do better is the same energy she brings to the Foundation. This volunteership has helped her in taking another step closer to her aspirations. And has further developed her will to help others with their businesses. Townsel states, “Yes, I have evolved when it comes down to helping others with the brand of their businesses.” Hopefully, one day Townsel will receive help in the branding of her future business, as she has assisted many before.
