Community+Internship

=Community Internship=

As part of the School and Community Engagement program component, each aspiring principal, or NELA Fellow, participates in an internship with a community organization during the summer. They work with organizations which have a significant, positive impact in northeastern North Carolina. Through their internship experience, Fellows learn about the vision, mission, and daily operations of the organization; better understand how community organizations can work in conjunction with schools and other institutions to meet critical needs; and gain a deeper appreciation for the assets in the community that can be leveraged to support students. In addition, Fellows will work with other leaders in organizations to design a plan for a community-based, school-affiliated initiative that addresses local needs, and develop a viable grant proposal to support this initiative. No financial commitment from the organization is required.
