For our local businesses and organizations. Consider hosting an intern during the summer. If you have a junior, encourage them to participate in an internship. Internships are an amazing way for students to learn more about a profession they may wish to pursue. Provides a better understanding of the skills, knowledge and training/education needed for success. #partnershipsmatter #education #community

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.

Check out Public Allies National Board member and staff alum, Marc McAleavey, MSW's, blog post on leadership development! In this piece, he shares his belief that everyone has the capacity and skills to step up and lead positive change in their communities. ⭐ "Public Allies believes that everyone leads: that leadership isn’t a position, but actions we take. Through this, I have come to know that leadership is like a muscle that everyone has... However, when we marry our gifts and talents with the hopes and dreams of our neighbors, our leadership muscles grow and thrive in the power of community."

The experience thus far has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to apply my academic knowledge in a practical setting.

I didn't get the full-time offer at the end of my summer internship at an Investment Bank. Much of the error was in my approach. Here's what I wish I'd known: Wall Street is not school. Even if you're participating in an internship, the primary job of the people at the firm is not to teach you. I was so used to the framework of school where I’d been given a specific assignment and then taught the exact set of skills needed to accomplish it by an educator. I *assumed* all I needed to do was show up and ace a bunch of tests. On Wall Street, YOU need to proactively identify gaps in your knowledge, build your own curriculum, seek out teachers, and ask them SMART QUESTIONS in order to learn what you need to know. If you want a full time offer at the end of your internship, you will need to have built relationships with mentors and advocates who are going to fight tooth and nail to make sure you have a permanent seat. Don’t let feelings of intimidation stand in the way of you setting yourself up for success. Follow these key rules: DO: Operate from a standpoint of service. Try to add some small value before asking people to do things for YOU. DON'T: Assume everyone has prepared a 10 week long curriculum for you to learn from and be tested on regularly. DO: Be entrepreneurial and go beyond the programming. Come up with projects if you aren't assigned them. Find opportunities to demonstrate what you are learning. DON'T: Ask people for their time and not be prepared with specific questions. DO: Write everything down throughout the day, consolidate into lists, research as much as you can, and strategically seek out help to fill in the gaps. DON'T: Assume the person to whom you've been assigned will be your mentor and manager for the rest of your career. DO: Seek out people across the firm in different roles who are willing to teach and have capacity to spend time with you. How's your internship going thus far? Let us know...and good luck this summer!!!
