This is what interns who applied last year shared about the application...

• Who are you? General Applicant Information, including parent/guardian/caregiver and emergency contact phone and email address. 
• What’s on your plate? What do you need? Other responsibilities you have, including any current jobs or regular responsibilities. AND a space for you to share any accommodations you would need throughout the program- learning, socializing, dietary, etc.  
• A Stroll Down Memory Lane: Getting to Know the Program will ask you to watch several videos and answer questions about what you have learned from them. 
• Your Turn! Getting to know YOU! This section will invite you to create your own Playbill bio, share why you are interested in the program + going to college, and rate your skills with various software programs.
• The Written Word and The Spoken Word sections will ask you FIRST to share a piece of your own creative work and write about the process of creating it. THEN we will also ask you to create a VERY brief video.  
• The Calendars section will ask you to review the summer program calendar and demonstrate your understanding of it. 
• The School Dayz section will ask you to talk to us about your role as a student - grades, attendance, interests, etc. 
• Family Connection we will ask your parent/guardian/caregiver to complete.
• The Letters of Support section will ask you to provide the names and email addresses of two adults who know you well. This can be a teacher, guidance counselor, admin from your school, a pastor, a mentor, a work supervisor, etc. It should be someone who has known you for at least ONE year. We need at least one of those adults to write on your behalf! (No family members please...we know they LOVE you and might be a little biased!) Your application is NOT complete without this! 
• Final Thoughts will allow us to get some additional deets about you. 
• And LAST BUT NOT LEAST! You will be asked to officially sign and submit your application! 

PART TWO: ACCOMMODATIONS

Please have a parent/guardian/caregiver complete this portion of the application. 

• The time commitment calls for full-time work for 7.5 weeks: Orientation Week Monday-Friday, June 23-June 27 AND 6.5 weeks of the internship Monday, June 30 - Wednesday, August 13.
• On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, students are completing their internships. Interns will work with their supervisors to determine how to get to work each day: i.e. bus, walk, light rail, etc. 
• The Professional Development on Thursdays and Fridays will take place at Arts for Learning Maryland's offices located at 21 E. North Avenue. We will go on field trips on Fridays by bus, walking or driving with staff. (That is why we need permission from you!)

I am the parent/guardian/caregiver of this young person and I consent to their participation in the Bloomberg Arts Internship based on the conditions listed above. I understand that my child is required to fully participate through the entire program - Orientation Sessions and the 6.5 week internship (7.5 weeks total). Also, that my child may be contacted for research purposes after they have completed the program. I AM EXCITED! 

AND...If accepted into the program, I give permission for Arts for Learning to share my child's email, phone and address with staff and worksite partners. 

Looking to the future...
