As you now know, interns will work on meaningful creative and administrative projects at their placements (that's YOU!), start their Common Application, write their college essay, create a digital portfolio of all of their work, and present their summers to family, friends, supervisors, and community at our culminating event.
What does this really look like?- After five days of Orientation to prepare, students start their internships.
- On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, students are completing their internships. Each worksite will work with its intern to determine if participation during their internship will be in person or hybrid. Interns should work 21 hours each week at their internship. (EXCEPTION TO THE RULE: In Week One, interns are with you Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1. They will come to Professional Development on Wednesday, July 2 and Thursday, July 3. *Interns are off July 4th - we hope you are too!. In Week 6.5, they will come to you for their last day on Monday, August 11 and will come to their last day of Professional Development on Tuesday, August 12.)
- On Thursdays and Fridays, students participate in professional development, engage with panels of artists and college admissions officers, and travel through the city's vibrant arts and cultural scene!
REMEMBER, your organization will be paid a stipend of $1400.00 per intern to help offset the cost of staff time in supervising and guiding the intern(s). (With an additional $100 for showing up for Orientation and the Mid-Program Happy Hour. Though those are required events, people often don't show up and we hope this will be another incentive to ensure that they do! WE WANT AND NEED YOUR TALENTS AND EXPERTISE IN SPACE TOGETHER!)
