Students

Dear Seniors,

We would like to offer you an exciting proposal for the last several weeks of your senior year.  You can experience the World of Work first-hand and explore future career interests by participating in the New Canaan High School Senior Internship Program (SIP). Picture yourself writing for a newspaper, working at an art museum, teaching a kindergarten class or making an informational video for a local nonprofit organization..

The purpose of SIP is to expose you to the workplace outside of your formal educational experience. Interns will work approximately twenty-five hours per week in an unpaid position at a pre-approved work site. Since internship work hours will generally occur during the school day, you can still participate in sports and other extracurricular activities.

Any senior who is passing ALL classes at the time of application and whose attendance is in good standing may apply to SIP.

If you are selected, before starting the program you must:

• Meet all graduation requirements, academic and otherwise

• Obtain authorization from all of your teachers before beginning the internship;

• Have administrative approval to participate in the program

• Have parental permission.

We think this is a very valuable opportunity for seniors and urge you to apply.  If you have questions, please see the Internship Fact Sheet on this web site, or e-mail Mrs. DelMazio, Coordinator of the NCHS Senior Internship Program, at kelly.delmazio@ncps-k12.org, or call her at 203.594.4752.

We look forward to receiving your application. 

TO APPLY FOR A SENIOR INTERNSHIP YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SIP APPLICATION-A website link will be sent to Seniors on Nov 13, 2023
