Internship Program Application

(Part 1)

Thank you for your interest in the Futures and Options Internship program. Students in our internship program participate in paid, mentored internships at a diverse group of private and nonprofit businesses in New York City.

Please read the following information about the program including what is expected of our students and what our students may expect from Futures and Options, and then complete the Internship Program Application.

Internship Placement

Futures and Options staff works to place students at sites that best match their interests and skills. Once a potential internship placement is identified, students will interview with the supervisor at the selected job site. In some cases, students will interview at several sites.

Student Responsibilities

Internship Placement: During the school year, students can work up to five days a week for a maximum of 15 hours. During the summer, students can work a total of 35 hours per week. All internships are paid. The specific hours are determined by each site supervisor and each student's schedule. Students are expected to be on time each day and work the required number of hours. The appropriate attire is dependent on each internship site and the supervisor's guidelines.

Our monthly workshops provide professional and career development and on-going support for our interns. Interns have the opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other's internship experience. Attendance is required and students are excused from their job to attend. Interns are invited to attend college guidance workshops throughout the year.

About the Young Writers Workshop

In the summer of 1983 Simon's Rock began offering a three-week writing workshop for high school students modeled after the innovative three-week Workshop in Language and Thinking required of all entering students at Bard College. We are now part of the National Writing and Thinking Network, the largest consortium of summer writing programs in the country. Each year 84 academically motivated students are chosen to participate in the Simon's Rock program. Former participants have gone on to such colleges as Amherst, Bard, Harvard, Haverford, Kenyon, Princeton, Simon's Rock, Smith, Williams, and Yale.

Unlike conventional workshops in expository and creative writing, Simon's Rock's focuses on using informal, playful, expressive writing as a way to strengthen skills of language and thinking. Out of these informal writing activities, using techniques of peer response, students develop more polished pieces, ranging from personal narratives to stories, poems, and exploratory essays.

The workshop sections are small (12 students). This allows for individual attention to each student and helps to foster the sense of belonging to a supportive learning community in which students can feel comfortable exploring new directions in their writing and thinking. Trusting one's own language and voice, learning to think for oneself and in collaboration with others— these are the qualities and skills that the workshop strives to develop.

Each weekday consists of three ninety-minute sessions organized as writing and discussion seminars. Workshop leaders write with their students, and there is frequent sharing of this informal writing, both in small groups and in the class as a whole. Discussions of assigned readings — mostly contemporary poems, stories, and essays — is informal and speculative. The emphasis isn't on arriving at a "correct answer" but on exploring various ideas about what a text is saying. The texts also frequently serve as starting points and models for students' own creative writing exercises. These daily activities are complemented by evening assignments in reading, revising, and journal writing.

Each week students develop a portfolio of "works in progress" and then meet individually with their workshop leader to discuss what they have written. Rather than evaluation, these meetings focus on what the writer is trying to do in his or her writing and how best to accomplish these goals. By becoming more conscious of their choices and strategies, students develop the intellectual autonomy expected of them as they prepare for college.

Students live on campus in the college's dormitories, along with adults who are members of the Simon's Rock student life staff. Aside from quiet hours and a curfew, students are free to organize their time in ways that fit their particular needs, whether that means preparing for the next day's class, socializing with friends, participating in a recreational activity, or attending an off-campus cultural event.

All faculty are experienced teachers and writers with a special interest in the theory and practice of the nationally recognized Bard College Institute for Writing and Thinking. They are selected for the Simon's Rock workshop because of their record of teaching excellence and their familiarity with the needs and abilities of younger writers.

PAID internships Emma Bowen Foundation DUE: No later than 1/31/2013. VERY COMPETITIVE

The Emma L. Bowen Foundation was created in 1989 to prepare minority youth for careers in the media industry. The Foundation’s program is unlike traditional intern programs in that students work for partner companies during summers and school breaks from the summer following their senior year in high school until they graduate from college. During the four-year program, students have an opportunity to learn many aspects of corporate operations and develop company-specific skills. Corporations have an opportunity to train and mentor students with the option of full-time employment upon completion of their college degrees.

Students earn an hourly salary and matching funds for college expenses. Academic excellence is also a key component of the program—students are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good standing. The Foundation staff works closely with corporate partners to monitor each student’s academic and work progress. An annual summer conference, a community service program and a mentoring program are also provided to further enhance the student’s knowledge and experience. Resource guides for both students and corporate supervisors are provided to maximize the student’s experience while in the program.

This unique, multi-year program prepares a diverse group of talented young professionals to enter the workforce with specific job-related skills, knowledge of the corporate environment and a strong foundation for future advancement. Students work in a variety of functional areas (e.g., marketing, sales, finance, public relations, human resources, technology, news, web design, promotion, etc.) and rotate each summer. Currently, we have 260 active students nationwide and more than 500 graduates. Approximately 70-80 new students join the program each year.
