Does the Writing Ambassadors internship fulfill the minor internship requirement?
The internship for the writing minor must involve writing or editing, not teaching writing, which is the focus of the Writing Ambassadors internship. This is a great opportunity for you if you are considering becoming a K-12 teacher, as you will learn writing to learn strategies useful across the curriculum and get hands on teaching experience, which helps with getting into certificate programs. It is possible to create a writing internship connected with your teaching in the Writing Ambassadors program, but it would require extra work: writing for your school site that is not required by the Ambassadors program. Pamela Major, the Coordinator of the Writing Ambassadors Program, will help you, if you want to develop an appropriate writing project for your site.
