How do I get an internship?
Internships are for seniors who have taken 2 credits in their pathway courses and are on track to graduate. Having an internship requires students to have shortened schedule in order to go to work.
Contact your counselor or Ms. Walenga, shayna.walenga@harlem122.org, for more information.
