Sadie Nash Programs for Young Women PAID INTERNSHIP FOR SUMMER 2013

http://www.sadienash.org/apply_summer.htm

THE SUMMER INSTITUTE 

The Summer Institute requires an initial commitment of six weeks. The summer program lasts for six weeks from July 8th – August 16th, 2013. Monday through Friday from 10:00am until 4:30pm (Fridays are trip days and we get out earlier). The Summer Institute is located in Manhattan and Newark, respectively. There will be required pre-session orientation meetings in June to prepare you for the summer, and to provide an opportunity to meet staff and to get to know each other. During the summer you and your peers will take interesting classes, meet women involved in different forms of leadership, take workshops on issues that are important to you, go on trips and explore your own and others’ leadership.

THE STIPEND

To help you cover your expenses (food and transportation) during the summer you will receive a stipend during the program for everyday that you are there. You only receive the stipend when you are at the program because it covers those two direct costs that come with attendance.

ATTENDANCE

SNLP does not allow more than 3 absences during the summer program. If you have valid reasons for those absences (illness, family emergency) that you did not know about prior to the summer, we will let you return to the program the following summer. SNLP requires attendance for both the strength of the community and to enhance your experience. Also, at SNLP two late arrivals counts as an absence. Please contact us if you have more questions about these policies.

Help a young person discover his or her potential!

Volunteers and interns are needed throughout The Door’s programs to help us meet the diverse needs of more than 11,000 young people every year. Here are just a few of the volunteer opportunities currently available:

Talent Search

Talent Search focuses on those students who require extra support and guidance as they make their way through high school or a GED program. These are young people who may not be aware that college is accessible or affordable, and/or who may not be able to compete for acceptances to competitive universities without the support of tutors, advisors and mentors. Talent Search seeks to create a space where young people can use their skills and talents in order to achieve their goals and dreams.

Learn more about volunteering with the Talent Search Team.

Member Services

The Member Services Department welcomes and orients new members and is responsible for providing a brief interview and intake assessment to all new members. Appropriate referrals are made by Member Service intake counselors to The Door’s programs based on a young person’s needs and interests.

Learn more about volunteering with Member Services.

Runaway and Homeless Youth

There are nearly 4,000 youth who are homeless and alone in New York City. We provide homeless youth with essentials like food, clothing, and hygiene products, as well as referrals to shelters and access to the wide array of services at The Door.

Learn more about volunteering with our Runaway and Homeless Youth Department.
