Summer Internship Description: The Mississippi Teacher Corps offers an unpaid Summer Internship open to rising to rising college seniors, juniors, and sophomores. If you are interested in interning with MTC, and you can arrange outside funding for the summer, apply online here. The Mississippi Teacher Corps Summer Internship, which runs from June 1st to July 31st, has six components: 1) Assisting with the running of the MTC Summer School in Holly Springs. This involves: working with the summer school principal; interacting with parents and staff; observing classes; and helping to run after-school activities. 2) Working at the main MTC office. This includes: interviewing principals and superintendents about the performance on the MTC teachers; taking photos for the MTC website; and helping to set the fall recruiting agenda. 3) Visiting the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation. Each intern spends two days at the institute working on a project of the Institute's choosing. 4) Researching a specific topic. Each intern chooses a topic of study during the summer. At the end of the summer, each intern is responsible for presenting a project (a paper, film, multimedia, etc.) on the topic of study. Past topics have included: the connection between poverty and wrongful imprisonment; the importance of early childhood education; and the experience of several "Lost Boys of Sudan" here in Mississippi. 5) Attending the speaker series. We generally bring in two speakers each week to address the interns. Past speakers have included Dr. Andy Mullins (University of Mississippi), Dr. John Winkle (UM), Sandra Knispel (Mississippi Public Broadcasting), and Tucker Carrington (Mississippi Innocence Project). 6) Field Trips. The internship usually includes at least two field trips: a tour of several towns in the Mississippi Delta and a visit to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
