Internship (Harlem / Morningside)
Join our movement
Success Charter Network is an ambitious charter management network of four high-performing charter schools in New York City. Over the next decade, our network will grow to 40 schools that provide access to high-quality education to children throughout New York City.
In 2006, Success Charter Network launched our flagship school, Harlem Success Academy 1 Charter School. With the opening of three additional schools in 2008, we are currently serving more than 1,500 students. We plan to launch three new schools in the fall of 2010 that all provide academically rigorous and well-rounded instruction in historically underserved communities.
Envision excellence
Our faculty, scholars and families are committed to excellence. In 2009, 100% of Harlem Success Academy 1 third graders passed the NYS math exam, with 71% achieving the top score of "4," ranking the school #1 out of all public charters in the state. 95% of Harlem Success Academy 1 third graders passed the NYS English Language Arts exam, with nearly a quarter achieving the top score of "4," ranking the school #2 out of all public charters in the state.
Harlem Success Academy 1 outperformed its school district by nearly 25 percentage points in English Language Arts. The percentage of students who are "advanced proficient" in math surpasses even the affluent Upper East Side of Manhattan by nearly 35%.
Support a growing network of success
Just as we invest in our scholars’ success from an early age, we begin planning for the school year during summer orientation to ensure that our faculty has the tools and resources they need to be successful. The Success Charter Network includes External Affairs, Development, Human Resources, Operations & Family Affairs, Finance, Data & Accountability, Instructional Development and Technology. Each department plays a pivotal role in ensuring student success throughout the year.
Are you passionate about closing the achievement gap? Interested in non-profit management? Wondering what it takes to open a new organization? Are you just looking for an adventure?
The Success Charter Network is now offering internship opportunities. If you are an education major, we offer opportunities on a number of teacher support teams. If you are studying Policy, Math, Marketing, Business, or even 18th Century Literature, don't let that degree keep you from applying to SCN. We also have internships working in many other fields - including Finance, Instructional Development, Data Analysis, and Public Relations.
Interns at Success Charter Network are key players in our daily operation and our constant innovation. SCN Internships provide a unique experience to observe and be part of the start-up phase of a highly ambitious and successful non-profit organization. You will have the opportunity to learn hands-on about how a non-profit organization gets started and runs.
Interns receive ongoing mentor-ships and training throughout their program at SCN. Assigned to a team based on your skill sets and interests, you will work directly with a SCN Director who will oversee your work, help identify project goals, and support your professional development. You will have the opportunity to attend department and network-wide meetings as well as attend other organization-wide events.
SCN Internships range from part-time to full-time positions and take place year-round. Start and end dates are flexible, but you are expected to make at least a three month commitment.

BRC: Helping People to Reclaim Lives Lost.
BRC is a leading provider of housing and services to thousands of New York City’s neediest individuals. Offering a hand up, not a hand out, BRC asks one simple question: What can we do for you? BRC sees the potential in each individual it serves, and provides each the opportunity to find it. Whatever our clients may seek, BRC has it, 24/7/365: outreach to homeless people living in public spaces, drug treatment, mental health care, comprehensive medical services, vocational services, and supportive communities in which to live. More than 4,700 times in 2008, an individual in need said yes to BRC and walked through our doors; and over 2,600 times, a BRC client successfully graduated, and moved forward to reclaim their life. BRC succeeds by building trust with the people it serves; listening, and then acting, providing housing – both temporary and permanent – to over 1,100 individuals daily, and services through 25 programs located throughout New York City. Building trust takes time, and a compassionate, dedicated staff of over 450 employees and 300 volunteers that persevere 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, never giving up. And neither do our fellow New Yorkers, who called the BRC Homeless Helpline nearly 2,000 times last year.
