The Impact Academy is a small charter high school in Hayward (just south of Oakland). All of their students graduate from school eligible to apply to a 4-year school, and most of them will be the first in their families to go to college. As part of their graduation requirements, juniors and seniors spend one day a week for ten weeks (beginning Tuesday, Oct. 4th) in a workplace as an unpaid intern. However, many students have struggled to land internships in professional settings, because many of them have few if any family or social connections with adults that have college degrees.
If any of you would be willing to consider mentoring any of their students and/or would like more information, please go to the website for the Workplace Learning Experience (WLE) Program at the Impact Academy, at http://www.esimpact.org/wle/Impact_Academy_WLE/Home.html. |
