If accepted and placed with a sponsor or serving as an Associate Intern, an intern must attend and participate in one service learning project and two professional development sessions. 60% of the intern’s evaluation comes directly from their participation. Students who do not participate in the program’s events are not allowed to apply the next year. The program is much more than just a job.
No, first priority is given to District 23 college students but the opportunity is open to any eligible applicant.
The Conrad Program is open to all eligible college students, regardless of major or field of study.
There are no fees for students to be considered for or participate in the program. Students earn salaries from their employers during the summer internships.
No, participation is limited to students attending four-year colleges because we did not want to duplicate other programs that target community college students.
