Students attend City-As-School to complete their high school education through hands-on work experience.
Interns receive academic credit for what they learn with you, and your organization gains apprentices who create their own education through assisting you. There are no payments or salaries involved in this program.
"I have learned so much. I got the feeling of fulfillment just looking back at all the work I’ve done and all that I’ve learned here."

1. Meet With A City As School Teacher
Each internship site works with a Resource Coordinator, a teacher who visits the internship regularly and liaises between the internship contact and the student.
FIVE STEPS TO BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIP MENTOR
2. Provide Students with at Least 12 hours of time per week
Internships must operate on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or a Tuesday, Thursday schedule during business hours.
3. Mentor and Provide Feedback
Students need guidance, so we need to know students will have a direct supervisor on site that will communicate with us on their progress.
4. Incorporate a Structure that Enables On-Site Learning
Students will present academic work to the teacher and complete a project.
5. A Relationship is Formed
Students often reach out to their internship hosts, forming bonds that last years after they complete high school.
