JOB OVERVIEW

Our vision is to provide a nurturing environment where youth are excited to learn, explore their interests, and have the opportunity to participate in out‑of‑school activities that help them make meaningful connections between academic success and overall development. Our college interns will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve this vision.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Assist staff in developing individual education plans for students and grouping students into collaborative learning teams.

• Mentor students from 1st through 12th grade in social and emotional development.
• Accompany and supervise children during outside activities, including sports and playground games.

COMPENSATION

Although the position is unpaid, many interns transfer the hours into college credits or fulfill volunteer/internship requirements related to a degree. Some educational institutions require prior approval before starting an internship for academic credit; it is the responsibility of the student to verify this with their institution.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• Teamwork
