IDS 4940 Creative Comm Partner Internship

In this course students gain leadership and curriculum development knowledge in their area of study. Students receive mentorship and learning opportunities in their time with the instructor and then put that knowledge into practice as leaders of creative clubs in local elementary and middle schools on a weekly basis. Each semester culminates in a presentation at the relevant school for the community, as well as a presentation of the student's own learning and reflections. Participating students also learn about important aspects of entrepreneurship, such as filing taxes with 1099 income, seeking out other opportunities like these after the end of the internship, and learning more about nonprofit organizations and LLCs. learning opportunities in their time with the instructor and then put that knowledge into practice as leaders of creative clubs in local elementary and middle schools on a weekly basis.
