<p>I will be interning at the YMCA of Broward County in Hollywood, Fl. Parent/ Intern meeting is May 12 in my county. Information is still a bit vague so there is still alot to learn about this program. Wish U all the best of luck!!! I will also keep u all updated as well. But always remember with āsuccess comes failureā</p>
<p>Has anyone called to find out when (for their specific marketplace) they will be finding out about the scholarship? If so, did they seem annoyed at all? I donāt want to be rude and call, but Iām dying to know!</p>
<p>P.S. Philly market anyone?</p>
<p>innocentāIām guessing JohnRambo is referring to the orientation meeting for his market. Dās orientation (with parents) is not scheduled until May 26. Schools arenāt done here until mid-June.</p>
<p>Iām in the St. Louis market and I was notified in a short letter. My app included the following-- I went on a mission trip in West Virginia, did a year-long program with the St. Louis Zoo, volunteered at a French Language Camp, volunteered at Disability Day at my high school, and I volunteered at the International Institute in St. Louis. I think everything totals to roughly 250-300 hours of community service. I had no idea whether this was an acceptable resume or not when I applied!
In any case, I had a back up so Iām set for the summer. However, I do think that there should be much more info about this for future candidates!! For example, only after I applied I found out from one of these discussion boards that the program only accepts five people per market. That wouldāve been good to know before I planned which internship to apply to because Iām sure there are plenty of people in STL who have done tons more community service/leadership than me.</p>
<p>any other long islanders placed at ucp?
I hope I am not alonee =]</p>
<p>Yay. i got it =) inland empire, california</p>
<p>this program sounds pretty cool.</p>
<p>I got the packet today in the mail. It says interns from each market get paid the same ($10/hour) and work the same amount of hours (35/week). This obviously doesnāt equate to $5,000. Therefore, Iām going back to my idea that we all applied for a 5k grant from BOA and the money for the trip is deducted, then we keep the rest which is paid to us every two weeks throughout the internship (including the week we are in DC). </p>
<p>My info meeting is on May 19. Hopefully I will learn more thenā¦</p>
<p>banjo09āi am from Inland Empire too!!!
Where are you interning at?</p>
<p>omg! christine9944! haha. im so excited =) i have no idea where iām interning atā¦prob boys and girls club? but the lady said the orientation is on the 12thā¦so iāll find out there? do you know where youāre interning at?</p>
<p>anyone who got their packet try to register for the closeup thingg?
i couldnt find it on the site</p>
<p>i have noo ideaā¦
when were you notified? Yesterday?</p>
<p>giggles5367</p>
<p>My packet says to register after the info meeting. They want to make sure you turn in all paper work and can actually go on the trip before you register with Close Up. Iām sure once the first market has their meeting, Close Up will post the BOA registration info.</p>
<p>I WANT MY CALL</p>
<p>why is it taking them so long to notify my market :(</p>
<p>From what people have posted here, the CCāers have only heard from the following 7 markets. That leaves 35 marketsā¦ (and they did say that they will notify people by May 22). Hope the waiting isnāt much longer, innocentkid!</p>

<p>How would I know which market Iāve applied to?
Is it determined by your address?</p>
<p>So if Iām in San Jose, which market would it be in?</p>
<p>Oh, another thing.</p>
<p>Was it necessary to put how many hours of community service you did in the āList all community activities hereā?
All I did was list all my activitiesā¦
I didnāt put how many hours of each I did.</p>
<p>Mine would be over 500 hours of community service</p>
<p>Oh no ):</p>
