Leadership and Summer Opportunities
2021-2022
Click above for an exciting variety of summer opportunities for teens!
Do you know a student in the Atlanta region who is looking for an opportunity to grow their leadership skills? A student who cares about housing affordability, protection of greenspace, and other issues facing metro Atlanta? If so, then the region’s premier leadership program, Model Atlanta Regional Commission (MARC), is a great opportunity.
Please read on for more information and feel free to share the 2022 flyer!
MARC is the only program of its kind to involve students in experiential learning in real-world areas affecting life here in metro Atlanta. For more than two decades, it has engaged young people on the latest in transportation, natural resource sustainability, and community development.
MARC participants meet once a month for six months as they take part in hands-on activities, behind-the-scenes tours, and thought-provoking discussions with local civic leaders and experts as they develop their own actionable solutions to the challenges facing us.
The 2022-2023 MARC program application is now open to rising 10th and 11th grade students who reside or attend school in the 11-county Atlanta region (Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale counties, and the City of Atlanta) and are interested in learning how they can act to make metro Atlanta an even better place to call home.
The program is free to attend. Applications are due by April 15, 2022 and space is limited. Apply Here
The 2022 Summer Law Internship Program will run from June 1, 2022, to July 20, 2022. There will be four mandatory orientations tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, June 1; Friday, June 3; Monday, June 6; and Friday, June 10. The pay will be $1,950.00 (total) for the six weeks ($325 per week). If you Intern at a law firm or corporation you will be paid a stipend by your host. If you are a Public Intern, your internship is sponsored, and you will be paid a stipend by the Atlanta Bar Foundation.
Interns are not allowed to have any second jobs, band practices, sports practices or otherwise that conflict with or impact your Internship. (Every year we have prospective Interns request that they be allowed to miss mandatory Intern events due to conflicts, have different dates for their Internships, etc. The Intern Program dates are set. You are all-in or you are not.)
Only students who are members of the classes of 2022 and 2023 are eligible to apply. Freshmen and Sophomores, Classes of 2024 and 2025, are ineligible to apply.
