Ed Portal Internship Program
Harvard University
The Harvard Ed Portal High School Internship Program is a 4-week paid internship program for 34 high school students (24 from Allston Brighton and 10 from Cambridge). Each student works 20 hours a week (remotely). Groups of six to eight high schoolers report to a Harvard undergraduate on one of five projects focused on developing students’ professional skills while developing deliverables in the following areas: youth programming, IT, art, storytelling, and COVID-19 awareness. Interns are paired with a Harvard staff member to talk about their career path and professional experience. Interns also participated in a minimum of 2 hours of college and career conversations per week.
