Program Interns are typically upper-level high school students who have a strong interest in education and a desire to impact middle school kids. You must combine a love for kids with patience, energy, and a positive attitude. You should also be a fun, passionate and motivated team player. Experience leading groups of kids entering 5th-8th grade is extremely helpful. Previous camp experience is a plus. Galileo Summer Quest Program Interns work for 4-6 weeks.
