What interns had to say

Since working as part of the team at Stairs Academy, I have increased my skills in Web development and learned new skills, that I will be using in my career. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to collaborate and express ideas with different individuals doing the internship with me.

The Internship at Stairs Academy was truly a fulfilling experience. My fellow interns and I worked to progress the school and had a fun time doing it!. Being a Sunset Park native, I want the children to have the same joyful school experience I had when growing up. The fact many of the schools are overcrowded and some will have to travel to different neighborhoods to go to school is quite upsetting. Every child deserves a quality education.

I was always interested in web and mobile app development. Thanks to Graeme at Stairs Academy, I was able to apply my knowledge and get hands-on experience working on both the Stairs Academy website and the Ace Club App project. Future interns will be able to improve on the Ace Club app that I started, using the vision and resources I have left for them. I'm glad that I got to work and collaborate with a great team and individuals with different backgrounds, learning a lot about the process of starting a charter school.

I came to this internship knowing very little about the inner workings of WordPress. However, I had knowledge about the inner workings of the web and had programmed pages without all of the abstraction WordPress had to offer. Because of this, I was able to fix many issues that couldn’t have been fixed solely in WordPress. This made me realized that knowledge in any topic will be of use somewhere.

I have enjoyed my time in the STAIRS ACADEMY Internship Program, under Graeme’s leadership. He has given me direction and many skills that I can apply in my future career. This is a great beginning. I feel STAIRS ACADEMY will become one of the best institutes in New York City, always remembered by the people of the neighborhood. I would love to work for the school in the future.

Joining the Stairs Academy internship was beneficial and a great experience. Being apart of the weekly meetings, I am able to observe and learn from my fellow team members. I was able to gain an insight into how online marketing work and take part in creating an event where all people from the community can enjoy. I am glad to have the opportunity to be apart of a group of diverse and talent people who shared passion to make this proposed school happen especially from Graeme. His constant dedication toward this mission inspire us to work harder.

At STAIRS Academy, I had the opportunity to improve my web design and WordPress skills. I was also able to market for a non-profit organization, as well as effectively collaborate with other team members. In addition, we learned first-hand what goes into organizing and promoting community events. This has been a valuable supplement to my existing skills and current education in business management and marketing. I will be so proud when STAIRS Academy will open its doors to Brooklyn children!
