Interns contribute to live research, curriculum and programme work. Nobody is given filing to do for eight weeks.
Internships run for four, eight or twelve weeks, full time or part time, remote or in person depending on the domain. Field-based internships require in-person availability for at least part of the term.
Start dates are grouped into cohorts so that induction, supervision and review happen properly rather than ad hoc.
Every intern who completes the term and submits the final deliverable receives a dated certificate stating the domain, duration and the work produced.
Interns are named on any published material they contributed to. Outstanding interns are invited to continue as volunteers or to apply for fellowship tracks.
You are assigned a supervisor and a single substantive deliverable — a literature review, a module draft, a district data set, a communications asset — sized to the length of your term. You meet your supervisor weekly. At the end you present the work and receive written feedback you can use.
Internships are unpaid at present. Approved travel and material costs for field work are reimbursed. We state this plainly rather than at the end of the process, so you can decide before investing time in an application.
