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
