Most of the first week was spent in taking inventory of various phases
of the Urban Corps. The most immediate problem is finance. A small
administrative fund was donated by SREB and Dan Sweat, Assistant to
the Mayor. Present inventory of work study funds available this summer
for Urban Corps is 138 student positions at 80% cost. All of these are
not firm commitments. VISTA will finance 25 interns at full cost.
Mr. Bill Ramsay and Charles Sweet are visiting financial aid offices of
Atlanta colleges in an effort to ''squeeze'’ more off-campus work study
funds free. Fund raising from private sources is under way with no
results as yet. A businessmen's luncheon is scheduled for April 29 in
an effort to get fund commitments. A fund raising group has been
established under the leadership of Bill Adams of Georgia Tech.
Definition of job openings is under way. It appears that the city can
accept at least 100 students. Definite job slote will be defined the week
of April ll in city departments, City financing and administration will
be explained in a meeting of department heads April 8, A city intern
developing team will visit each department during the week.
Internship development of non-federal non-city agencies will begin
April 8, Initial contacts and requests for 158 interns from these agencies |
has been handled by Terry Allen. Student teams will more clearly define |
each intern request during the next two weeks and hopefully make new |
contacts in other agencies.
