Internship Sponsors Needed for Greeley's Senior Experience Program

Since 2010, the Horace Greeley High School Senior Experience Program has been providing 12th graders with the opportunity to design personalized learning experiences. The senior experience program affords students the opportunity to explore career possibilities, pursue passions, give back to the community, make self-discoveries, and realize how their efforts can influence the world beyond the classroom.

We need your help to support this growing program! In previous years, students have worked on everything from designing bridges to song-writing. Students also have dug into organic farming, tested operating systems at IBM’s Watson Lab, interned in the Special Crimes Division of the Westchester D.A.’s office, and taught at Chappaqua elementary schools.

Please consider supporting one of our seniors by providing a five-week internship at your place of business or by consulting with a senior engaged in an independent project in your area of expertise.

The official start of the program is set for May 4, 2015 (depending on each student’s AP test schedule) and will end on June 10, 2015. During this time, students will engage in their projects for a minimum of 30 hours over 5 days each week, write weekly reflections, meet at least once a week with a faculty advisor, and make a final presentation at the end of their experience.

We hope you consider joining us in this work. Please visit www.ccsd.ws/SeniorExperience to fill out an internship sponsor form. If you first want to learn more about the program, please visit the Senior Experience webpage  or contact Kristin Spiros at krspiros@ccsd.ws.
