Teaching Assistant Internship
Do you love working with kids?
Do you love great music, great food, and beautiful scenery?
If you answered yes, this internship is for YOU!
Trailblazer Child and Youth Program partners with the US Navy to place interns at Naval Support Activity Mid-South just outside Memphis, Tennessee. In this role, you'll work as a teaching assistant to provide child care and recreation for military families. It's an awesome way for you to get college credit, career experience, have lots of fun, and make a positive impact on society!
Why it's great:
- Airfare, housing, and transportation are paid by the Navy
- Earn $17.20/hour and work 40 hours per week
- Earn 3-12 upper division credits
- Explore and travel on evenings and weekends
- Make new friends
- Prepare for your career and get great references
The details:
- The internship starts March 4, 2024 and ends May 17, 2024
- Hours are usually 8:00-5:00 with an hour off for lunch, Monday through Friday
- You'll help with things like meal time, nap time, reading, playing outside, teaching music, crafts, field trips, and other activities
What do I need to thrive in this role?
- Open to any major
- At least 2 semesters of college complete
- 2.0 GPA
- Positive attitude
- Flexibility and professional demeanor
- Experience working with children is a bonus but not necessary
Cool…I have some questions:
- Do I have to join the Navy? Nope. You'll be part of the supplemental staff, so you'll have access to the base as a civilian…no boot camp necessary
- Do I have to be a Utah Tech University student? Also no. We work with students from universities across the United States. Participation in this program won't affect your status at your current institution
- Can I bring a friend? YES! We love to place interns with friends. If you know someone (or lots of people) who would love it as much as you, please encourage them to apply as well so you can be roommates
- What's the catch? Great question! While the Navy sponsors this internship, you will be responsible to pay tuition for the credits you earn ($255/credit, minimum of 3 credits), $18 for fingerprinting, and a $500 deposit (fully refundable when housing, car, and uniform are returned in good condition at the end of the internship). You'll earn more than $8,000 throughout the internship, so you still come out way ahead
We are so excited to hear from you. The application window is short, so apply right now.
As they say in Memphis, “Bring your own soul” and we'll see you soon!
