Summer Rising information

What is a Summer Rising?

A Summer Rising job refers to a position within New York City's Summer Rising program, which provides students with a combination of academic support, enrichment activities, and recreation during the summer months. Employees in these roles may work as teachers, counselors, program coordinators, or support staff in schools and community-based organizations. The goal of the program is to help students stay engaged, catch up academically, and enjoy safe, structured activities. Summer Rising jobs typically run during the summer break and are open to qualified applicants who want to support youth development and learning.

What are the typical responsibilities and challenges for educators participating in the Summer Rising program?

Educators involved in the Summer Rising program often balance academic instruction with enrichment activities, working alongside community-based partners to support students' social-emotional development. A common challenge is adapting lesson plans for a diverse group of students with varying academic needs and engagement levels during the summer months. The role typically requires flexibility, strong communication skills, and the ability to collaborate within a multidisciplinary team to create a positive and productive environment. Educators also track student progress and coordinate closely with families to ensure consistent support.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Summer Rising program staff member, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Summer Rising Program Staff Member, you typically need experience working with youth, a high school diploma or higher, and an understanding of educational or enrichment program facilitation. Familiarity with student management systems, basic computer applications, and safety protocols is often required. Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills help staff effectively engage students and collaborate with colleagues. These skills are crucial for fostering a supportive environment that promotes students’ academic and social development during the summer program.

Summer Rising and Summer Camp Counselor roles both involve working with children during summer, but Summer Rising is typically school-based with a focus on academic and enrichment programs in urban settings. In contrast, Summer Camp Counselors work in recreational camp environments, emphasizing outdoor activities and informal supervision. Both roles require experience with youth and strong communication skills, but their settings and program focus differ significantly.

Job description

Center for Disability & Elder Law
Hybrid Legal Intern
The Center for Disability & Elder Law (CDEL) hosts Legal Interns each academic year and during summer months. For Summer 2027, the Legal Intern will participate in a hybrid, full-time internship opportunity, and CDEL will provide training and supervision for the student. Applicants should be a rising second or rising third year law student.
For Summer 2027, we currently anticipate that interns will work both in-office and remotely. Opportunities to participate in CDEL community clinics, workshops, the guardianship help desk and the recorder's division help desk may be available. Internship activities will be available depending on health and safety recommendations.
The Legal Internship is unpaid. However, in addition to working with law schools offering externship credit, there may be funding options available for CDEL Legal Interns through law schools or outside agencies.
Interns will be responsible for managing cases and a client case load under supervision. Interns participate in all aspects of client files, including screening, intake, document review and full representation. The student will gain experience in the following practice areas and develop the stated skills:
Practice Areas
Skills
Estate planning
Guardianship
Housing
Collections
Financial Abuse
Family Law
Interviewing candidates for service
Document review
Direct legal assistance (under supervision)
Litigation (under supervision)
Students interested in Elder Law, Disability Law, Public Interest and Housing Law are especially encouraged to apply.
CDEL is an equal opportunity employer and a welcoming community that engages, encourages and empowers those who are members of underrepresented communities. CDEL
is a dedicated advocate for our clients who hold many diverse identities and experiences across race, color,
sex,
age, religion, class, disability, national origin,
ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge, source of income, housing status and gender identity. We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized and underrepresented communities to apply for this position.
Applications are reviewed as they are received.
