Internship Program

Managed by Lisa Fierman, Director of service learning and civic involvement

The Paideia high school internship is a component of a larger, school-wide initiative designed to strengthen the community stewardship ethic and deepen learning through volunteerism and civic involvement.  The internship serves different purposes for the 3 constituent groups involved:  high school students, community agencies, and Paideia.  Students learn first-hand about social/environmental issues, gain experience beyond the school environment, and experience personal growth and expanded self-awareness.  Community agencies benefit from expanded capacity, potential staff recruitment, and increased visibility.  Through this program, Paideia is able to support/engender contributions to the broader community, strengthen our resource network, and nurture a service ethic in the school body. The internship is a graduation requirement; students must complete 60 hours of service.

Please visit the Paideia website regularly for details regarding the internship process, a searchable database of potential community partner agencies, and time-sensitive volunteer opportunities.
