Internship CommitmentCommitment is for at least one year, and
may be renewed upon mutual agreement of site and intern◦Undergraduate interns may also choose to
continue with their site as a graduate intern if mutually agreeable.
Most interns will stay at the same site until they graduate◦May request a relocation after one year, but
this rarely happens because it would require another site hiring an intern
Ensuring Financial SustainabilityMany interns will qualify for food stamps
◦ Find link to apply at: www.fns.usda.gov/snap/applicant_recipients/apply.htm
If you are an undergraduate student be sure to apply for financial aid (Pell Undergrad)◦ Pell will be paid to intern as cash as we receive them◦ Undergraduate interns may not receive student loans as
an intern◦ Graduate interns may receive student loans in special
casesHousing stipend paid directly to landlord is not
taxable We strongly advise that student interns do not
take a second job.◦ We have never had a student intern who took a second
job who completed their program
Communication with TechMissionYour site supervisor is your supervisor, not
TechMission◦TechMission will avoid getting in the middle of
conflictExceptions
◦Sites that work student interns more than the required hours impairing their studies
◦Sites that violate the law or terms of the internship contract
◦Sites that do not pay their fees to TechMission/City Vision
◦Sites with programs that end due to financial reasons or that provide no supervision
Site Payments (Work Study & Graduate Interns)
Site pays City Vision College $700 (or $1,600 for graduate interns) once an intern is placed on site.
Site continues to pay at $700 (or $1,600 for graduate interns) increments on August 15, October 15, January 15, March 15 and May 15 for a total of $3,500/year (or $8,000/year for graduate interns).
Site fee is the same regardless of the number of courses an intern takes
Because a site is making a financial commitment to provide training and pay your tuition, it is important to complete your year!
Intern PoliciesWork Study interns and graduate interns
work structure◦29 hours as an intern◦16 hours for on site study and lunch breaks
(sites may wave on-site requirement for graduate interns)
◦45 hours of total time per week (9 hour days)Interns follow sites sick, vacation &
holiday policy◦If no policy exists, then we recommend that
interns get 15 combined sick/vacation daysInterns follow site policies unless those
policies violate the law or internship contract
Things to discuss with your supervisor Find out who is your supervisor / go-to person. If possible establish a regular schedule for
serving Find out what is expected of you – talk about
your job description. Establish who you should go to for help. Ask what you should do if you’ll be late. Make sure to trade contact information. Ask about rules – especially those involving
how to interact with other staff and those you’re serving.
Ask what makes a good intern.
A Good Intern is F.A.T.Faithful: Keep your commitments.
◦ Don’t think of yourself as “just” a volunteer. People are depending on you!
◦ If you need to miss a session or will be late, call.Available
◦ Willing to do whatever is needed◦ Expect to sacrifice
Teachable◦ Ask what people (staff, clients, the community) need
instead of assuming that you know◦ Ask how you can be helpful instead of assuming you
know◦ Be flexible
Outcome RequirementsWe will provide a web form for interns to
complete every 6 months◦Estimates are fine as our intent is to minimize
the work on your end (1-2 hours) to compile outcomes
◦Required for continuation in programIn the program(s) your intern(s) is/are
involved in◦Number of program participants ◦Number of volunteers◦End Outcome Estimates: grade promotion,
graduation rate, program completion rate, etc.
