I completed my internship in college as a Volunteer Coordinator for SXSW (South by Southwest). SXSW is the largest media event in Austin and has exhibitions for film, music, and technology. This large range of industry allows for a specific role in a large organization. As an intern for the volunteering department you can see first hand how the SXSW operates by working the volunteers check in center, providing logistic support to over 2900 volunteers, and even work the registration component for over 20,000 badge holders. Most interns worked at least 20 hours a week from January to March. During the week of SXSW interns worked tireless from 8 in the morning till 10 pm at night completing about 50 hours of work during the week of spring break.
