We developed and coordinated a one of a kind Internship program for Urban and suburban High school students., placing students in the offices of the Mayor of Syracuse, NY State Assemblyman Magnarelli, State Senator Valesky and U.S.Senator Schumer. The Interns served as semester long office staff and received credit for keeping a journal and writing a paper. The program was was a complete joy for all and was totally unique in bringing Secondary students into a role previously reserved for undergraduate and graduate college students. Unexpected benefits included High School students who developed and matured beyond anyone’s expectation simply because they were working side by side with college interns and adult professionals.
