    CIIP Blogs (Summer 2021)

    Elly gave to CIIP 2021

    What challenged me, and probably many others, the most about orientation was completing it in a virtual setting, given that the world is still going through the COVID-19 pandemic. Being on Zoom for five hours a day for five days naturally caused me to experience “zoom fatigue,” even though I found all of the workshops and activities incredibly informative, useful, and thought-provoking. Although I’m sure we all would’ve preferred to see each other in person, the virtual situation also came with many of its positives. For example, during the reflection for the Baltimore scavenger hunt, someone with a disability mentioned how having it online made it more accessible to them. We were also able to “visit” and learn about more places and avoided the gawkiness of going in large groups to neighborhoods uninvited. Looking back, I am truly in awe of how Reah, Bently, and Eli of the CIIP team were creative enough to adapt a scavenger hunt and the other activities online.

    Orientation taught me so many important lessons, facts, and history that there’s just too much to list. I will note that I was surprised by how much I learned about my placement, the Farm Alliance of Baltimore, despite having not worked there yet, just through seeing their stand at our cohort’s Waverly Farmers Market trip, listening to Rodette Jones of the Filbert Street Garden speak, and learning about the other food and environmental organizations in my peer mentor group. After seeing how connected all of the community partners are, I realized that having an internship in CIIP puts me in a position to leverage the CIIP network to benefit my community partner. This is their first time hosting a CIIP intern, and I’m excited to see what I can bring to the table, given this unique and valuable position.
