The student will be onboarded to the org and 3 different departments where they will be contributing. Each department has a lead that will mentor the intern through their projects, in addition to the main contact who will oversee their overall experience with the organization. While we intend to fully support the intern, including being available to troubleshoot any level of difficulty, it is envisioned that - once onboarded - the intern will have the option of working independently on assigned projects. Mentors will meet 1:1 with the intern on a minimum of a weekly basis and the intern will otherwise have a dedicated office space from which they can work which will give them ongoing access to other organizational staff, support and resources.
