Internship Timelines
-
Fall Programming serves as a crucial period for interns to immerse themselves in the initiation of the academic year's projects and activities. Starting in September, interns are expected to assist in launching various educational programs and student engagement activities. They will participate in the planning and implementation of after-school tutoring programs, special school projects, and community outreach events that often kick off in the fall. Interns will also be involved in monitoring and adjusting these programs based on initial feedback and performance data gathered through the end of December. This period is vital for setting the tone and pace for the remainder of the school year.

Spring Programming extends from January to May and focuses on advancing the educational initiatives started in the fall while preparing for end-of-year assessments and events. Interns during this period play a key role in refining tutoring programs and educational workshops based on the outcomes and lessons learned from the fall semester. They will also help organize and execute mid-year reviews and adjustments necessary to meet the program goals. Additionally, interns will assist in prepping students for standardized tests and final projects, ensuring that all activities are aligned with achieving the highest academic performance as the academic year concludes in May.

Summer Programming, concentrated in the month of July, is an intensive period where interns are heavily involved in delivering summer educational camps and tutoring sessions aimed at preventing summer learning loss. Interns are expected to manage daily operations of summer programs, which include creating engaging educational content, conducting classes, and leading recreational and educational activities. This period requires a high level of energy and creativity from interns to keep students engaged and learning in a more relaxed environment. At the end of the program, interns contribute to evaluating the success of the summer initiatives and begin planning for the upcoming fall.
Internship Responsibilities
Math Tutoring
-
Interns play a crucial role in our after-school math tutoring program by providing direct support to students who need extra help with their math skills.
