My semester as a Digital Media Intern has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience. I've always seen the RMHC change bins at my local McDonald's restaurants but never truly understood the impact these bins have in the community. I was able to learn more about the non–profit industry, while applying concepts I learned in school to share RMHC's mission and events via media. I was able to support events like the Red Shoe 5k, 35th Anniversary, and the Mother's Day Jewelry Fundraiser. It was gratifying to work for a non–profit and know that you are making a difference in families lives when they need it most. The staff at RMHC Hawaii are truly the best and support an essential service that makes a positive impact in the community.

Being a Digital Media Intern for Ronald McDonald House Charities Hawai'i has truly been such an amazing experience. A few years ago, my cousin was born with fluid in his lungs and had to be flown to O‘ahu. With the help of RMHC Hawai'i, my aunty and uncle had a place to stay while my cousin was being cared for in the hospital. I am forever grateful for this opportunity to give back and show my appreciation for everything that RMHC Hawai'i has done for my family. Being able to use social media to bring light to the RMHC Hawai'i mission while also developing my marketing and communication skills with such kind, hardworking individuals has been such a rewarding experience. I am forever grateful for RMHC Hawai'i and everything they continue to do to help families in their times of need.

Major | Information Technology
During this internship, I've been able to practice and use my knowledge and skills from both school and working with a nonprofit. The challenge with a nonprofit organization is that it's based on fundraising. Nonprofits usually need an extensive computer network and system even though they can be smaller than commercial businesses. Working near the families staying here at the Ronald McDonald House really puts computer work into perspective. It grounds you and gives more meaning to what you're doing. It's clear that interning in IT (Information Technology)at Ronald McDonald House Hawaii is making a difference in others' lives as well as mine.

My internship time at RMHC-Hawaii was one of the best experiences I ever did. I was able to learn different tasks and gain knowledge about something new every day while being in a comfortable environment. The Volunteer Program Internship gave me real-world experiences and the proficiency skills that I can definitely use toward not only my career field but, in my personal life as well. Being at the house, was a life-changing opportunity because I was able to develop relationships with the families staying at the house and the volunteers working there. Being part of an organization that changes lives and means a lot to people will always be an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for life.”

My internship with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Hawaii was one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my life! I was able to work in the Judd Hillside House along with friendly staff and fellow interns. This gave me the opportunity to interact with the families that stayed at the Judd Hillside House-which I truly valued. During my internship as the Junior House Manager I was able to work closely with volunteers and could visibly see how much they impacted the foundation of the house. I was so lucky to be surrounded by such loving, passionate and hopeful people throughout my internship experience!”

College | University of Hawaii
Major | Business Administration in Marketing
Interning at Ronald McDonald Hawai’i in 2019 has been such a great experience. I have learned so much within the few months of being with the RMHC O’hana. I’ve gained knowledge on creating digital graphics, handling social media accounts, and taking photos/videos at events. Out of the many lessons I’ve obtained, I think the biggest factor I took with me was working together as a team. Ronald McDonald House Hawaii does just that by their positive attitudes and hardworking employees and volunteers to make the lives of children a better experience by providing a home away from home.”
