The Atlanta Urban C:Jrps is the best example I've seen for young,
intelligent minds to grapple with the problems of our city. Our
young people and our cities can no longer afford to be strangers.
The leadership 0 £ universities and cities must take advantage of
this vast untapped source of energy and manpower.
Atlanta should be proud of its students and universities. A group
of students proposed this Urban Corps se1·vice-learning concept
to our city and now their universities are helping to sponsor it.
Interns will perform needed services for not only city government
but private agencies as well and during the process they will learn
a great deal about our city and its problems.
I hope the Urban Corps i s only a beginning. We need this focused,
aggressive concern of young people . We need more movement
between the two worlds of academia and city.
You interns have my wholehearted support.
We need your help.
Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor

Fi nanc ial need,
Atlant a resideut
�Due to the la;.·ce num'be:r of financial sponsors of the UPJ3AN CORFS :, a
uniform description of each financial a.1.·rangement is impossible . The main
financial source for intern salaries is CWSP funding . However :, some agencies
and depar tments have made special agreements to p;.·ovide more than the 200/o
matching fund requi:red for matching CWSP. Certain agencies are funding the
full cost of thefr inte:rns and have forwarded this money to the URBAN CORPS
in advance of the work period. Ii. few a gencies have financial sponsors 11
that paJr the full cost of their interilS directly to the URBAN CORPS . VISTA
is presently sponso:ring the full cost of 25 interns for select agencies.
These students ai·e c ounted n.s VISTA 11 /i.ssociatesn as well as interns in the
UPJ3J\l\T CORFS,
/i.11 students not certified by their college for CWSP funding are given
equal consideration for placement under the above non ~,CWSP funded positions .
The URBJ'J\T CORPS also solicits funds from businesses and foundations.
These funds :, unless earmarked for ce:rtain interns or ngencies ,. are used to
place non--CWSP interns in a gencies that cannot financially afford to pay
full cost. These intern slots are chosen on the relevancy of the intern-ship , the need of the a gency and the educational experience the intern
might receive. These solicited funds are also used to fund UP.BAN CORFS staff
intern positions.
The basis financial source of each internship is one of the following :
1.
College Work- Study-BO%,
2.

Supervision
Assignments for URB.f\N CORP.3 interns a.Te approved on l y u_von the assuranc e
thnt a dequate super Yisio11 will be pr ovided during the period of the inten1 ~
s hip . The avo..ilability of such supervision is reviewed a.nd evaluated by the
URBAN CORPS Placement nnd Eva.luation Connnittecs . The level of supervis i on
depends upon t he nature of the o.ssiQ;nment nnd the experience of the int ern.
This is designed to offeT students the opportun t iy for max imum initiat i ve and
c reative flexibi l ity consistent with the cn];>nbil Hies of t he individual and
the requirements of the assic;rnnent.
Especially in t he case of gr oup pTojectn ~ experienced gr aduate students
may supplement the supervisory per sonm~l provided by the agency or department.
This hns b een found to r:-f'fer the advantages of close s upervi s ion while per ::iitting more extensive project groups to e ffez···~ lvel y operate.

When n student accepts an URBJ\N CORPS internship appointment , he knows
in a limited wny wha.t his mission is . The supervisor's tnsk is to provide
the interpretive assistnnce looked for in the pursuit and re,.examinntion of
that mission.

Suspension and Discipline
URJ',.BN CORPS inte:;.·11s who fo.il to properly perform their assignment may be
suspended by thei:;.~ immediate superviso:r . Such sus_pension will be immediately
reported to the URBL\N CORPS and thoroughly reviewed. Where such action is
wo.rranted a student may be transferred t o m1othe:;.~ a.ssie;nment or , in the co.se
of serious misconduct, dis mi.ssed .frou1 the program. Any disciplinary action
will be irmnedintel~r reported to the student's college financial aid office.
Disciplinary a ct i on may only be taken upon the approva.l of the URBAN CORPS
Personnel Cormnittee. The student , his supervisor , and the n,gency coordinator
may be asked to appear before the committee before action is taken . 1\ repre-·
sentative of the college may sit in on any meetings of the committee concerniDg its students .

Evaluation
The evaluation of the performance of URBAN CORPS interns is carried out
at several levels . These include the i mmediate supervi sor :, the coordinator
of the agency or department to whic.h the student is assigr~ed , a f ield evaluation unit and the intern hi1nself.
Both the student and his sup2rvisor OXIJ queried during the course of the
int ernship as to their opinions of the internshi:9 experience and ._performa.nce.
The coordinator of the agency or depa.rtment t o which the student is assigned
is lilcewi se charc;dd with the t ask of i:.mi ntainin[j on going e valuation of the
_performance of interns within his jurisdiction. These evaluations are available to the student's inati tut ion > t1hich a l so ma.y have direct o.ccess to the

it chn.nges the no.ture of education. Eclucn.tion
becones an inter;:::-al part of living , not just

In order t o insure ec1ucation releva.ncy f or ea.ch internshi].) the Field
Evaluation Staff will conduct infernal sen inars utilizing university concousultants and representatives of various agencies . These seninars r.1ay inal:ut:'.w all interns on occasion but r2ost gr oup neetings will be structerec1
f0'r snaller intern groups within a specific category such as housing or
recreation. These neetings will provide the intern with an overall view of
his discipline whether working in a city clepartnent , county governnent or

Final Report
The cul.n i nati on of the internship will be the final report. It i s a
report written f or the intern·' s departncmt or agency ancl prepared uncler
the guidance of t he intern ' s supervisor and URBAN CORPS Field Evaluation
Staff. It is required under the -terns of appointnent by the URBAN CORPS .
The final report is not a din.ry .. it is not an English thene . It is
written for the a.c;ency to provide a docunented re1)ort on the problens ~
s cope , and results of the i nternship m1d the overall acency .
Specific 11 cool -book n direction ca..rmot be f ollowecl on t hese reports ,
but general guidelines are incl udecJ. below to hel p insure sane uniforr:.i. skeleton
f or a.11 reports. Ea.ch intern should discuss his report objectives and probleus
with t he Field Evalun:tion Staf'f cont act early in the internship.
A.
General SugGest i ons f or the Inter~1
The writing of your final r eport wil naturally have t o wait until
the conpletion of the field work (whette applicable ) , but it should be planned
fron tb.l? very beginni113 of your proj ect • The content and structure of a good
report are related directl y t ::; the nature and scope of the study and t o the
the r.1ethods used in gathering, recordinc and interpreting uata. The scope ,
i.e. , geographical area a.nd objectives of the project should be clearly defined.
·-11~
�The methods used i n pUl"suing the _project should be recorded .
Most of your tine will be spent go.therinc; do.to. froo books , o.rticles ;
docur:JBnts, reports . and from mo.ny individuo.ls. You rao.y use one or o.11 of
these o.pproo.ches , but the personal interview will probo.bly constitute o.
chief source of informo.tion. Who.tever the source, it should be relevant to
the objectives of your study o.nd documented _ i . e ., the source or person should
be accurately recorded. Titles of persoas intJ1·viewed a.re important and
shoulcl be noted. A field notebook is essential. Don ' t rely on mei:10ry~ write
it dmm on the S}?Ot. A procedure found helpful by 1:mny investigo.tor s is
transferrin~ the notebook to cards , which nre filed by topic.
You should subnit internittent l?Togress reports to your Field Evaluation contact during your internship. These r eports and careful attention
to notes will greatly sir.1plif'y the coElpilo.tion of the final report. As the
p1·oject progresses, the f ormat and nubstance of the final re_i_)ort should be
considered in your do.ta collection and the forn you use is your i ntermittent
reportn. If you use this app roach; :y·ou ,-, i ll find that the pre_po.:ro.tion of
your fino.l report ho.s been made ouch quicker o.nd ea,sie,.·. Don't allow your
interir.2 reports to becorae nerely statements of activities. These can be in~
eluded; but let the repo1·t reflect yolli· proc:;ress in uud,ersto.ndine:; o.nd interpr eting your project.
