Responsibilities

Intern responsibilities:

• Demonstrate motivation and responsibility in order to be selected as an Intern.

• Attend required Internship orientation at AHS. 

• Provide their own transportation to the worksite.

• Work 5 hrs./week at the worksite; we understand that in some cases 8 hrs. is required.

• Dress in conservative “business casual,” unless worksite requires formal dress.

• Attend sessions with the AHS Internship Director on a regular basis to discuss policy, procedure, work at the site, etc.

• In addition to duties at the worksite, develop a project approved by the on-site intern supervisor that is of use to the host organization. Interns are required to present a substantial project end product at the AHS Internship Expo

 

Supervisor responsibilities (some flexibility is possible – just ask): 

• If the Intern works more than 5 hours per week you may pay for the extra hours.

• Plan in advance a practical Day 1 orientation for the Intern including worksite layout, your expectations (e.g., communication, initiative, requesting support). 

• Participate in one worksite meeting with the Intern and AHS Internship Director about the Intern’s responsibilities and project.

• Review and approve the Intern’s project, and offer occasional guidance to ensure its usefulness to your organization and completion.

• Complete a brief online form every 4-6 weeks about the Intern’s performance (form is checkboxes with optional comments – takes 5-10 mins. to complete).

• Please remember the AHS intern is a teen – wonderful and responsible – and sometimes in need of more encouragement and supervision than an adult.
