Interns are expected to show-up on time and dress in business casual attire. If for any reason they can’t make it to work, they should communicate ahead of time.
Room and Board
It is suggested that interns arrange their own housing prior to the start of the internship. Each intern will be given a stipend which they can use for room and board at their own discretion. We will try to help coordinate housing possibilities. CARP will cover expenses for the off-site trainings listed above as well as weekly team lunch outings.
Compensation
The internship is full-time (40 hours/week) from June 1 to August 20. Interns will receive a stipend of $500/month or $1,500 for the entire summer. It must be understood that life in New York City is expensive and interns should confirm sufficient support. The intern should not count on finding additional work for support as the Summer Internship at CARP is a full-time commitment.
Supervision
Interns will work directly with the CARP America staff- Naokimi Ushiroda and Teresa Ferrete.
