INTERNSHIPS

GOTHAM CITY AT OUR FINGERTIPS

Internship provide students with an opportunity to learn-by-doing, develop relevant skills, explore interests, and traverse New York City. 

​

Our student interns can be found all areas of the city, in a variety of industries.  Each semester, they complete a rigorous inquiry-based research project and give a public presentation detailing their experiences and learning.  Their experiences prepare them for the rigors of college as well as the workforce.

What happens when students engage in internships?

• They join a community that values their individuality, interests, and talents.

• They experience school as something relevant to the “real world.”

• They discover what they want to do with their lives.

• They experience opportunities for success in ways that traditional school might not provide.

• They earn elective credits by spending two days a week interning with mentors around New York City.

• They make positive contributions to their communities.

Volunteer mentors are essential to our students’ success.  In return, our students make important contributions to their mentor’s work.
