Welcome Step Up Supervisors!

Here are some key resources  to plan your internship(s), supervise and support your Step Up intern(s) and have a great summer:

Orientation Videos

Due to COVID-19, we've transitioned our in-person supervisor orientations to four short videos.  Please view these videos very carefully - and in the order in which they are listed - to learn what you need to know for successful internships. We will also be hosting some live Step Up Q & A events in the near future, so stay tuned for those details to come.

Supervisor Handbooks

Below our videos you can find our 2021 supervisor handbooks and other documents that include program details, policies and procedures, tips on creating remote internships and other important information. Our handbooks also include many templates that are referenced in the orientation videos.

For questions, please contact our staff who are listed at the end of each video.

We can't do this important work without you and are so grateful for your support. Thank you for your partnership!
