High School Internship

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>I am a rising junior in high school. I have been interning at a non-profit this summer. I would like to know what documentation I would need from them to verify my working there...should I get a letter of recommendation or have them sign my hours? Can I also list my hours under community service?</p>

<p>Although the internship was unpaid, it was a really fun experience and I learned a lot about databasing and what kind of work environment I would want.</p>

<p>Also, how does one go about applying to research/lab related internships?
I would be really interested in doing bio/chem lab work during the summer or even afterschool. I live in NYC, so it's probably very competitive to land an internship at a university lab.</p>

<p>^ Probably cause unpaid high school internships are sort of silly. </p>

<p>You don’t need to get documentation of community service hours (unless your school or courthouse demanded it?). The only thing I’d get is your supervisor and/or co-workers email addresses so that you can contact them at a later date if needed.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks.
There aren’t many meaningful internships available, though.</p>

<p>So, was this internship an utter waste of time?</p>
