Apex Cougar Club provides for 60% of the Apex High athletic budget. The county system provides only a small amount of funding for school athletics, so Apex Cougar Club was created to make up for the lack of funding provided. The group is composed of volunteers who have students who are involved in Apex High School Athletics.
As an intern with Cougar Club I work with these volunteers to maintain the Apex Cougar Club Website and the mobile app.
There is also a significant amount of self-motivation and choice involved in the internship. Although I am required to post certain things, and make certain updates such as rosters, schedules, and results, much of my internship is self-created. I am able to choose how to promote Cougar Club, and Apex athletics. I could choose to host a bake sale and sell 456 shortbread cookies or I can choose to write articles about the 456 shortbread cookies that the lacrosse team sold to raise money or I can photograph the men's basketball championship game while eating 456 shortbread cookies. Whatever I choose to do, my primary goal is to attract traffic to the website. I fit in at Cougar Club in this sense.
I choose to promote Apex High Athletics primarily through writing articles, making advertisements, social media, and website maintenance.
