The Catamount Community Schools Collaborative (CCSC), through funding from a Leahy Institute for Rural Partnerships Seed Grant, has established an interdisciplinary internship program. The CCSC Internship Program acts as a central, coordinating hub for UVM students (undergraduate through doctoral) from various programs and departments to gain access to partnership opportunities with Vermont Community Schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As partnering Community Schools identify student\/family needs, community engagement projects, or initiatives to be implemented, the CCSC faculty work to identify high-caliber UVM students in programs or disciplines across the UVM campus whose experiences and interests align with those school-identified needs. Those students are then placed (for a semester or academic year) with the partnering Community School to work collaboratively with Community School Coordinators and Administrators to work directly with students, families, or community members; to implement new programs or initiatives; or to conduct community-based, participatory research in support of school, district, or supervisory union goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, over 15 UVM student internship placements have been completed or are currently underway<\/strong>. More information on the UVM CCSC Student Interns, their school placements, and content\/expertise areas can be found below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
