2018-2019 Intern Application

We are very excited to offer our fourth cohort of Temple Sinai Teen Interns this year! Teens who get chosen as Temple Sinai Interns will be provided with a unique leadership experience that will help them develop skills in a specific area of interest, guided with one-on-one support by a mentor from the Sinai staff. This is an incredible opportunity for personal growth and college applications!

Teens in grades 11 and 12 are eligible to apply for any of the internships offered. Teen Interns will be expected to commit to at least 5 hours a month, August through May and will receive community service hours for their time in their internship. Each Teen Intern will meet with their staff mentor to create a learning contract that specifies clear goals for the year, focusing primarily on the personal growth and aspirations of the teen.
