For new Interns:

Your number one goal this during this timeframe is to secure an internship site and get all the paperwork filled out, turned in and your orientation completed. (Must have an internship secured and begun by February 6th to be on track with hours)

  • Internship/Volunteer Training Agreement - Hard Copy must be turned in

For continuing Interns:

• If you are continuing at your Term 1 internship site, you can start your hours immediately. Work with your internship site to establish your new schedule and let Mrs. Gravatt know what it is. You will be required to complete 80 hours, since you have all your other course work completed. After you have completed 80 hours, any additional hours can be used for Community Service. 

Below is the Spring 2023 Internship Schedule. Sites and interns work out their specific schedule with the goal of achieving 6 to 8 hours a week. Students and sites work together to determine holiday and spring break schedule. A total of 80 hours is needed for the class.

Week 1                February 27 to March 5

Week 2                March 6 to March 12 

Week 3            SPRING BREAK March 13 to March 19    

Week 4              March 20 to March 26  

Week 5               March 27 to April 2 

Week 6               April 3 to April 9 

Week 7               April 10 to April 16 (Holiday: Monday April 10)

Week 8              April 17 to April 23 

Week 9              April 24 to April 30  

Week 10             May 1 to May 7 

After May 7, students can do make-up hours if needed, but this time is built into the class for the students to work on their final project for the class. Any hours accumulated over the 80 hours can be used towards Community Service.
