MSTI Afterschool Enrichment Internship

The MSTI Afterschool Enrichment Internship is offered in collaboration with Children’s Empowerment, Inc. (CEI). CEI is a non-profit corporation that provides in-school and after-school academic programs to at-risk middle and high school grade students in Daly City, California. The MSTI Afterschool Enrichment Internship allows SFSU students to teach in these afterschool programs.  Students are eligible to apply if they are a current MSTI Fellow or Member. Awardees will be given $1500 per semester, to work in one of three Daly City middle schools.
