Other Activities & Commitments:
TIPS cannot offer internships to all applicants; therefore, availability is a strong factor in selection. Internships are 6 to 8 weeks and five (5) of those weeks must be consecutive. Most internships will begin Monday, June 28, 2010. Attendance is also mandatory for the following program event dates: TIPS Orientation - Thursday, June 10, 2010 (evening) Leadership Training - Saturday, July 17, 2010 (1/2 day) Day of Service - Saturday, July 31, 2010 (1/2 day) Celebration of Service - Thursday, August 19, 2010 (evening) Please list here all other activities that you are involved with this summer (e.g. vacations, driver's ed, sports or extracurricular activities, or other jobs). If you do not indicate that you will be absent or busy, we will assume you are available on a regular basis throughout the summer.
