2233 University Ave West, Suite 235
St. Paul, MN 55114
Contact: Hannah Zelmer, [email protected], 651-528-8589
Organizational Overview
The mission of Minnesota Alliance With Youth (the Alliance) is to ignite the spark in all young people in Minnesota to become actively engaged, develop strong voices, and acquire the skills needed for success in school, work, and life. In order to ensure all youth achieve success in school, work, and life, we focus on four strategies: 1) strengthening youth success in school and learning, 2) increasing youth contribution through service & leadership opportunities, 3) developing and magnifying youth voice, and 4) advancing collaboration and innovation. As a statewide collaboration of existing organizations, the Alliance offers training, resources, support, and AmeriCorps Promise Fellows to communities that share our vision and want to promote positive youth outcomes, including graduation for all.
Each year over 10,000 youth in Minnesota drop out of school. Minnesota’s academic achievement gap has grown to be the largest in the nation. While Minnesota historically has had higher than average rates of high school graduation, certain sub-groups of youth are dropping out at alarming levels and disengaging from communities. To face this challenge, the Alliance works to support and invest in schools and communities looking to tackle this issue. In particular, the Alliance places AmeriCorps members to serve youth in grades 6 - 10 within communities that have the highest annual high school dropout rates and at the middle schools that feed into those high schools.

AmeriCorps Promise Fellows ensure youth receive a variety of interventions utilizing caring adults, academic support, and service-learning to deliver them in both in school and out of school settings. Interventions focus on creating supports to help youth improve attendance, behavior, and core academic skills.
Position Responsibilities
Essential Functions: Promise Fellows will support and deliver a variety of activities to support students.These activities may include:
· Coordinate and deliver in and out of school time academic enrichment activities with the goal that at least 30 youth in grades 6–10 will experience academic gains.
· Meet regularly with Youth Success Team to review data and identify youth to serve; track student progress; and determine which interventions to connect to individual students or groups of students.
· Develop and organize projects that engage youth participants in at least 20 hours of civic engagement and service-learning activities during the year as an additional strategy to improve academic success. Lead civic engagement activities with youth, including reflection components.
· Recruit and/or support community volunteers, including family members, to work with youth participants in areas such as mentoring, tutoring, civic engagement, and college/career exploration.
· Provide attendance and behavior coaching for students targeted for needing assistance as determined through the multi-tiered system of support approach; promote positive behavior expectations.
· Maintain program records, complete ongoing youth assessments and submit weekly and monthly reports using an online database system with support from site supervisor and site coordinator.
· Support teachers and other school and community members to determine the best local dropout prevention strategies, including how community volunteers will help address the needs of the targeted youth.
· Organize field trips and other special events to make learning and being at school more engaging and relevant to youth who are disengaged and at risk of dropping out.
Requirements
· Associates Degree or Bachelor of Arts Degree in community or youth development, education, or related field

Description:
Dear Potential Intern,
We heard that some advertising agencies are getting quite clever when asking you to apply for their internships like answering a bunch of nonsensical questions to prove your wit or condensing your entire college career into a funny gif. That's Cool. (The people reviewing them will surely be entertained.)
So we understand that announcing our internship in a letter might seem a bit...quaint. But we don't see it that way. We see a letter as a way to really connect with someone because when you get right down to it, that's why we're in this business--to connect with people. In fact, it's why we started Solve in the first place.
Which leads to our internship application. We don't really care if you can make a funny 5 second video. After all, you'll be working alongside us on real projects for clients like Bentley Motors, True Value, and Organic Valley (and not some made-up intern project.) Which means we're looking for more than just a cute Snapchat; we want to know who you are.
So if this sounds good to you and if you're interested in account management, strategy or media planning, please mail (yes, mail) your resume and cover letter to us by Monday, March 24, 2014. Tell us about yourself, we'll schedule a face-to-face conversation with you if we want to get to know you better. Our paid summer internship will take place from June to August at Solve in Minneapolis for students enrolled in (or recently graduated from) an accredited, four year college or university. We'll be making a decision by April 25th, so plan your summer accordingly.

Industry:
Communications/Media - Advertising, Communications/Media - Marketing/PR
Job Function:
Advertising, Marketing, Other, Sales
Description:
Dear Potential Intern,
We heard that some advertising agencies are getting quite clever when asking you to apply for their internships like answering a bunch of nonsensical questions to prove your wit or condensing your entire college career into a funny gif. That's Cool. (The people reviewing them will surely be entertained.)
So we understand that announcing our internship in a letter might seem a bit...quaint. But we don't see it that way. We see a letter as a way to really connect with someone because when you get right down to it, that's why we're in this business--to connect with people. In fact, it's why we started Solve in the first place.
Which leads to our internship application. We don't really care if you can make a funny 5 second video. After all, you'll be working alongside us on real projects for clients like Bentley Motors, True Value, and Organic Valley (and not some made-up intern project.) Which means we're looking for more than just a cute Snapchat; we want to know who you are.
So if this sounds good to you and if you're interested in account management, strategy or media planning, please mail (yes, mail) your resume and cover letter to us by Monday, March 24, 2014. Tell us about yourself, we'll schedule a face-to-face conversation with you if we want to get to know you better.

QA Engineer Intern
Gengo
Where: Tokyo, Japan
Deadline: ASAP
QA Engineer --
Intern You: Love trying to break things and verify that products and services work as expected. The idea of working with professional engineers in an environment of continuous integration and automated testing frameworks gets you excited in the morning. You tingle with a little pride and excitement when you find a bug after one of our Engineers says they’re “done!”
Us: We’re a Tokyo-based Internet startup helping large and small online services Go Global through our API and unique human translation platform. We love working with internationally-minded people, and most of our team have lived in other countries. A few even speak more than 3 languages. Perhaps because of all these languages we speak - and code in! - we’re a tight-knit team that works hard, and has fun. Together: We will build, share, and execute on best practices in testing and test infrastructure so that our customers have the utmost confidence to “Gengo it!” You will provide the “human element” to testing - dragging and dropping, clicking and clacking, to simulate being a customer and translator of Gengo. As much as we believe in automated testing, there are many elements in the UI/X experience that require a human eye to validate, and that’s where you’ll come in. We are growing fast and coding faster, and we’re seeking proven, new and innovative ways to make sure we are always rock solid. Responsibilities Provide manual testing and validation of new features as part of the QA team. Track analytics related to bugs -- newly created, recently resolved, etc -- to help the team measure productivity. Working closely with Gengo developers across the entire stack including designers, system engineers and support team members. Requirements Familiarity in some combination of programming languages such as Python, PHP, Ruby, Javascript, Java. Familiarity with localization and internationalization processes and related testing. Bonus Skills Experience with automated unit, functional and Integration testing. Experience with test tools and suites for mobile/tablet platforms. Experience using continuous integration systems such as Jenkins or Travis, and automation tools like SilkTest or Selenium.
