It is important to make sure that you’ve identified a work station for your intern and key supervisors for your intern throughout the summer.
While there will always be some improvisation, it is best to have a master plan for the full eight weeks. You can find a sample work plan listed in the Additional Resources tab. The most typical pitfall is not preparing enough for the students to do. A significant number of first-time mentors report that their interns finished the summer’s projects in a couple of weeks. Because of this, we recommend planning one or more back-up projects or activities in advance. The clearer your expectations are, the more likely it is that the internship will be successful.
If you have not yet completed our equity training for mentors, please do so before the internship begins.
