As you now know, interns will work on meaningful creative and administrative projects at their placements (that’s YOU!), start their Common Application, write their college essay, create a digital portfolio of all of their work, and present their summers to family, friends, supervisors, and community at our culminating event. What does this really look like?
- After four days of Orientation to prepare, students start their internships.
- Three days each week, students are completing their internships that will be in person or hybrid.
- Two days each week, students participate in professional development, engage with panels of artists and college admissions officers, and travel through the city’s vibrant arts and cultural scene!
- Each worksite will work with its intern to determine if participation during their internship will be in person or hybrid. Interns should work 21 hours each week at their internship.
- EXCEPTION TO THE RULE: In Week One (the week of June 29th) interns are with you for ONLY two days. They have professional development for two days and then are off on Friday, July 3rd. (We hope you are, too!) In the last week of the program (the week of August 10th), interns are with you for JUST ONE DAY to wrap things up.
REMEMBER, your organization will be paid a stipend of $1500.00 per intern to help offset the cost of staff time in supervising and guiding the intern(s).
BEFORE WE GET STARTED, PLEASE, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE INFORMATION PACKET FOR WORKSITES THAT INCLUDES MUCH MORE INFORMATION, INCLUDING IMPORTANT DATES AND HANDY DANDY CALENDARS FOR YOU!
APPLICATION NOTES
You will receive an emailed copy of your application after submission. At that time, you can save and/or print a copy of the application for your records. (We have found this very helpful if you return in following years!)
Throughout the application you will find BAI MAGICAL MOMENT PHOTOS! We hope that these will get you excited about the summer!
There are also RANDOM QUESTION ALERTS throughout! These are questions designed by our Youth Advisory Council members to make the process a little more fun. They are also in the student application, so you can talk with your intern(s) about them!
