The University Recruiting team decided to volunteer at the Elmwood Park Zoo located in Norristown, Pennsylvania. We asked that interns would help us with our volunteer event and we had a great turn-out. The Elmwood zoo welcomed 16 volunteers that day to shovel rocks to help build the foundation for a new snack stand/feed stand and to weed and clean the outer perimeter of the zoo to keep the aesthetics as well as structure of the beautiful landscape. Here are some testimonials from the volunteers:
“Aside from the unavoidable poison ivy and humidity, it was fun to work on something that hopefully will have a lasting impact. Participating in the Intern Volunteer Day was a great way to meet people and get to know each other outside of the office. I will definitely be taking advantage of more SAP volunteer opportunities in the future.”
- Chelsea C. (Intern, VU Infra & Ops)
“The best part about the day was the ability to bond with not only other fellow interns, but also with SAP full time employees. The group of interns was about 15 people (not sure the exact number) and we were accompanied with a few University Recruiters as well. Overall it was a fun day of volunteering and networking.”
- Sean M. (Intern, Financial Analysis)
“This event was an amazing opportunity. I met new people, helped out the zoo, and learned a lot about team work and how affective it can be! We may have sweated a lot, but it was worth every drop.”
- Kyle B. (Intern, Strategy & Business Operations)
I've included a few pictures to help share all the fun we had that day. I am happy that I got the time to work with such a great group of interns and I look forward to the next volunteer event.
