Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA) Program

Needed:  Inspectors Under Age 21

Great opportunity for those interested in:

Public Health Government

Law Enforcement Pre-Law

Earning Money Gaining work experience

Inspectors under age 21 (the legal purchase age) ensure stores are not selling tobacco and vape products to anyone underage.

• How?  They try to buy cigarettes or vaping products.

• These "compliance checks" are under the supervision of a Public Health Inspector.

Safety is of great importance:  compliance checks are not performed at locations where underage inspectors are known or where they do not feel secure.  

Great Employment Experience Must Be Under 21 Years of Age Part-time Flexible Scheduling Training Provided

Hourly Rate $25.00 No Car Necessary

Additional Information:  Underage inspectors have played a critical role in the success of the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA) program.  The ATUPA program has been running since 1997 with youth inspectors conducting over 20,000 inspections of licensed tobacco outlets across New York State under the supervision of Public Health Inspectors.

Compliance checks involve individuals under age 21 attempting to purchase tobacco or vape products to see whether stores are following the law.

• Underage inspectors are not expected to deceive the retailer in any way.

• Underage inspectors are supervised by a Public Health Inspector.

• Underage inspectors do not present ID and will not conduct checks at locations where they may be known.

• Travel is provided to the compliance checks by the Public Health Inspector.

• Inspections may occur anywhere within Albany County.

Since this program began, nearly 95% of retail outlets are now in complaince (meaning they will not sell to anyone under age 21).  Becoming an underage inspector is a great professional opportunity and stands out on a resume!

No previous campaign experience is necessary. We strongly encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply.

Offices of NYS Senator Michelle Hinchey Internship

Are you interested in applying for an internship with the Offices of NYS Senator Michelle Hinchey? Below is more information about the internship and there is a google form at the end which you fill out if you are interested in interning, along with sharing your resume as an attachment to the form, to Alexandria (Alex),the intern coordinator for Senator Hinchey's office.

• Internships in our office can be for credit or volunteer.  For volunteer interns, we ask a minimum of 5 hours a week in order for you to get the most of this experience.  For interns receiving academic credit, please include your department/program, the number of hours required for your program, and any other requirements.  Additionally, please provide what availability works best for you in the google form (please use the short answers to fill in the gaps if the multiple choice options don't fit your schedule).

• Our District Office that most in-person interns would be working is located in Kingston; there is a spot or two available in our Guilderland office too.  The office's hours are Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm.  Depending on individual situations, remote opportunities may still be available, but the work hours would be the same.

• Interns can focus on a few different areas -- communications, legislation/policy, or community outreach/local issues.  A short description of each is below and on the attached form, please let us know your area(s) of preference.

a. Communications -- work closely with our communications manager to help her track press hits, draft constituent correspondence, keep our press list up-to-date, identify upcoming events in the community to promote on social and in newsletters, and more.

b. Legislation/Policy -- work closely with staff to draft background memos on relevant policy.

c.  Community Outreach/Local Issues -- work closely with our constituent services team to get background on district specific issues, respond and speak to constituents about important issues and plan community events.

• Sometimes there will be events outside of normal business hours, which we will let you know about and would love to have you attend.  At this time these are mostly virtual, but some things such as working with food pantries or running blood drives are in-person; for in-person events we would follow proper COVID-19 protocol and your attendance would be totally voluntary for as long as this emergency continues.  Let us know if joining events via Facebook Live, Zoom, or another streaming outlet -- or if reliable transportation to an in-person event -- will be an issue for you.

• Dress Code while on camera or in-person is business casual, though for events you may be required to dress business formal (or dress totally down -- like for a stream clean-up event).  Of course, this is a lot more flexible these days.

Here is the google form.  Please fill this out if you are interested in applying to intern, and be sure to send your resume, and we will take it from there!  Next steps would include an interview that would be held virtually at a time that works for us both.  Of course do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns in the meantime.  Thank you!

Schenectady ARC - College for Me

We would like to introduce a program that Schenectady ARC offers to high school graduates interested in a career in the health care/human service field.  Experience as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) is a great springboard for a wide range of career avenues. 

Schenectady ARC has developed; in partnership with NYS Department of Labor and SUNY Schenectady; a program called College for Me.  In a nutshell, the College for Me program allows people to work full time as a DSP Apprentice with Schenectady ARC and attend SUNY Schenectady in the DSP certificate program.  Up to $5,000 of the tuition cost is free to the student.  For most people, this allows them to complete the equivalent of 1 year of college for free.  Unlike many other certificate programs, all courses are true college credit and can be applied towards many AAS and BA/BS degrees.   A summary of the program’s curriculum and a flyer about the program are attached.  Minimum requirements to apply to the program are a high school diploma, and a valid NYS drivers’ license is preferred.

This could be a great opportunity for some upcoming 2023 graduates who plan to stay local as you begin college or who are unsure of how you can afford college tuition.  We would love to be part of your future.

Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital

Make a difference... Become a Sunnyview Hospital Junior Volunteer!

We have both adult and junior volunteer programs offering many exciting and rewarding choices to the volunteer.  A volunteer can choose to work directly with patients and professional staff; transporting patients, or work in a  position which does not involve direct patient contact, such as our gift shop, admitting department or answering the telephone at the front desk.

One of the programs we are seeking volunteers to work in is our Patient Request Service Department.  These volunteers deliver mail and flowers to our patients, as well as visit with them, assist them with writing letters, and some even shop for our patients.  We urgently need peiple to fill this position as soon as possible., and are more than glad to speak to any individual or group wishing to participate in this program.  The Patient Request Program operates seven days per week, offering the volunteer a choice of days to participate.  We also need helpers in the Central Supply area whereby volunteers deliver supplies to the patient.  And as always, we need help with our every day office work.

We believe that when a volunteer chooses to volunteer at Sunnyview, the service they provide enhances the quality of care to our patients.  Because of the vital role volunteers play in the every day functioning of the hospital, they are highly respected by our employees.  

Must be between 15 and 18 years of age and must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.  We are especially looking for juniors who can volunteer after school and/or on the weekends, holidays, or holiday breaks.

Interested?  Please contact us at Volunteer Office (518) 386-3631 OR  Joan Laviolette at (518) 386-3631 or joan.laviolette@sphp.com.

Workforce Development Institute Statewide Pre-Apprentice Program (SPAP)

Partnering with the NYS Building & Construction Trades Council, WDI (Workforce Development Institute) has developed a Statewide Pre-Apprentice Program with the primary focus to assist the current local apprenticeship readiness programs and where needed develop new programs. This partnership represents the union construction industry’s training and workforce development outreach to underserved communities throughout the state, with an emphasis on women and people of color.

Standardized training using the approved NABTU – North America Building Trades Union – MC3 curriculum and certified instructors is one of the “best practices” that will be shared across the state though the Statewide Pre-Apprentice Program (SPAP). The MC3 curriculum is continuously updated and encourages local support and input to continue to be relevant.

Entry and completion of the SPAP has been proven to be a successful way to provide entry into the NYS Registered Apprentice Programs and provide a pathway towards the middle class for underserved communities.

To find a program near you, visit NYS Building & Construction Trades Council.
