Internship Opportunities Available

Check out these internship opportunities available for the coming semesters! 

1. Do you secretly think you might be the "voice of a generation?" The next David Sedaris? The future Joan Didion? We kind of think so too, which is why this is the perfect internship for you.

We're Enchantress Magazine, an online community launching next year, and we’re dedicated to sharing real stories from real people. We're looking for strong writers with strong voices to craft short, weekly first-person essays.

Our unique internship program is totally remote, meaning you may work from anywhere, and entirely writing-based, as in the only coffee you'll be fetching is for yourself. Hours, likewise, are flexible according to your schedule: You will select your own recurring deadline and you will be expected to turn in one (1) first-person piece per week about a mutually agreed-upon topic or event from your life. Everything you write will appear as a 'Contributor' byline and may be used for your portfolio or personal website after it’s published on our site.  

In addition to learning the ins and outs of the editorial process, from brainstorming and pitching to writing and promoting, you will receive the guidance and support of our editorial team.

This opportunity is unpaid and will take place during the Winter/Spring 2015 semester.

3. SAGA FELLOWS is hiring!
The SAGA Fellows program is a full time, in-school professional math tutoring opportunity. This is the start-up year and we are looking for the first group of pioneers in New York City.  This opportunity is a great fit for individuals who are entrepreneurial and have a strong commitment to urban education.  A SAGA is a story of heroic achievement, and these stories are crafted every day both for the students and the Fellows.

Unlike traditional, often disconnected tutoring that happens outside of school hours, SAGA tutoring occurs as a stand-alone class period and is built into the school day (on many occasions as an elective course for credit). Each tutoring Fellow is assigned a personal caseload of 13 students and will work with the same students every day. Fellows work with students in small-groups (1:2 is our standard; one period is 1:3), provide them with intense academic support, and communicate with their parents weekly.  A SAGA site director is in the classroom with the Fellows, observing and giving feedback to each tutor each day.  The team will be together all day, supervised and given intensive coaching and feedback by SAGA staff in the classroom.

NEW YORK CITY
We are working on a proposed demonstration project within the NYC public school system serving 9th grade students in Brooklyn.  We are actively seeking 10 pioneers to tutor 9th grade math. Tutoring will occur every school day, 6 out of 8 periods of the day, from February 3, 2015 to the last day of school in June 2015. Fellows will start on January 20th for training, and serve until the last day of school (5+ months).

RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Fellows guarantee student academic success  by individualizing instruction and building meaningful relationships with their students.
- Fellows will tutor students in 9th grade math (algebra 1).
- Each Fellow will work with an average of two students at a time for each period of the school day, and will have a personal caseload of up to 13 students they will work with every day.
- Fellows contact families each week about student progress. This communication forges trust, creates relationships and keeps parents aware of the successes and needs of their children.
- Every site has a coordinator who is responsible for observing, training and assisting Fellows through the entire year. Fellows will be observed daily and must be hungry for feedback.

BENEFITS:
Fellows are employees of SAGA Innovations and will receive a $9,000 stipend for the 5+ month pilot and access to health benefits, and the opportunity for advancement after the pilot concludes in June.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Bachelors degree required (ALL majors accepted; an education major or minor is NOT required)
- Strong basic high school math skills (you will take a math test as one step in landing this position)
- Passion for education reform and hunger for feedback.
- Prior paid or volunteer experience with students is helpful.
- Prior coaching, tutoring or teaching experience is helpful
