I should add that these are PAID internships. Not only does this make our internships accessible to those who can’t afford to work for free, there is a noticeable difference in the quality and consistency of their work over the span of the semester. It is a lot easier to give more to an organization when they are compensating you for your time. At the very least, I believe we need to be paying interns enough to cover the indirect expenses that come with a job (gas, meals, clothing, etc.).

INTERNS ARE OUR NEXT TURN 🌟🎓   There’s a person in the team or more that we too often overlook. Our interns are our force of freshness. With energy and ambition, and the biggest dreams of us all. In our agency worlds, it is on us to grow their creativity and make their dreams even bigger. To understand their insights, nurture their creativity and amplify their aspirations.   It’s our work to help them make their futures gold. In our group of creative companies, our grads have a daily note and on it, they say: ‘Cos if you didn’t know, now you know.’ That’s exactly the point. We don’t know anything about the generations down the road so we need to get to know them and really listen to their ideas.

Next week marks six months for me as 826NYC's Executive Director, and one of the recurring cautions development folks shared with me when I started was about the "summer slump." If you're not familiar with non-profit fundraising, it tends to run in seasons. Winter is end-of-year giving season. Spring and fall are events seasons. And summer—at least for fundraising—is the dreaded season. But it doesn't have to be. As an educator, I know just how important summer is for our students and our work. While fundraising may fall quiet, our programs do not pause. They do not slump. In fact, they soar. This summer, 826NYC's elementary school camp provides crucial opportunities for young people to learn, create, build social emotional skills, get outside, play, and make connections with one another. 826NYC also runs a robust internship opportunity for high school students to mentor younger students, create unique writing projects, engage in daily professional development, and build their resumes.
