This intern will work to directly respond to the needs identified through this assessment. Activities will include outreach to increase numbers of applicants for scholarships available to Clubhouse members, creating resources on how to select post-secondary choices, piloting a certificate of achievement for Clubhouse members and convening live virtual and online activities and events for the Computer Clubhouses. These events will support the college application process as it is going on in Fall 2014 for US Clubhouses, supporting their members in meeting college entrance deadlines, and creating a national online community of college-bound Clubhouse members. Specifically, these live events will be a pilot program designed to increase the numbers of Clubhouse members applying to college, to encourage them to also apply for scholarship funding and to leverage their Clubhouse experience into career-applicable skills. In so doing, these members will also be linked to the Network, encouraging them to stay connected once they turn 19 and officially become alumni. The intern will also be able to participate in local C2C events around the metro-Boston region and will meet and network with other college and career access organizations in the Boston area as he/she gathers best practices and resources.
