A student intern may work in an office atmosphere or work hands-on in a variety of ways with youth or adults. The intern could be placed within the Robbinsdale School District or in the greater Robbinsdale Area Schools community. Job placement and specific duties are determined during an interview between the student and the program supervisor.

Internships are generally flexible; most students work 8-10 hours per week. Work schedules follow the school year calendar. Generally, students work after school until approximately 5 pm. Morning and early afternoon internships are also available for students with a more flexible school-day schedule. Student internships are also available in the summer and generally require a greater weekly time commitment.

Internships are not to exceed 10 hours a week.

It depends on the specific internship that a student is interested in. Typically, an intern is asked to commit to a semester, school year, or the entire summer.

Robbinsdale Area Schools students, age 15 or older, are eligible.

If you are interested in a student internship position, please fill out and submit the Student Internship Application Form.
