HFA Summer Internship Program

This program for teens provides experience in educational programming during Summer Days at Hitchcock, our summer program for ages 4 – 6 and 7 -10. HFA Summer Interns help with overall program facilitation including working directly with children, providing support for teachers, preparing materials for classes, organizing supplies, and other administrative tasks. Placement in the HFA Summer Internship Program provides a modest stiped of $100/week upon successful participation in the program as outlined below.

HFA will accept applications from responsible, dependable, and energetic teens (ages 13-19) currently enrolled in school or college.
