The goal is to have the students engaged in cross-curriculum activities that are interesting and fun while broadening their exposure to various educational and cultural activities. The program is run at the Ben Franklin Center located at 66 Bayview Avenue in South Norwalk. ASPIRE is on the 3rd floor.   

Duration: Internship starts beginning of June until summer program ends mid-August 

Preferred: Two (2) to four (4) days per week (Monday-Thursday) from 8:15am – 4:45pm

The ASPIRE summer program internship gives the intern exposure to a social service agency.   Interns provide hands on educational learning for middle school students (who are clients in FCA’s ASPIRE after school program). The goal is to have the students engaged in cross-curriculum activities that are interesting and fun while broadening their exposure to various educational and cultural activities. This program serves approximately 50 students ages 10-14, many of whom have multiple barriers to success.  Interns have a key leadership role with the ASPIRE staff and work on developing the summer curriculum, executing lessons, helping students learn life skills, chaperoning field trips and assisting with student events. This is a great opportunity to learn from a team of social workers and educators in an informal relaxed atmosphere.
