Cornell Human Ecology has launched a new summer internship program in New York City focused on urban studies, community engagement and professional development.

The internship program places student interns at partner sites across the city’s five boroughs. For this pilot year, three students focused on youth development and worked with the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem, a longstanding partner with the Cornell Action Research Collaborative. They helped implement programs like Youth Engagement and Action for Health (YEAH!) Food Justice Program, a summer program where high school students learn about nutrition, conduct ethnographic observations of the food environment and present to stakeholders on solutions to improve the food environment.

The Einhorn Center is proud to partner with the College of Human Ecology on the Engaged College Initiative.
