Learn to Earn Intern Program

In partnership with local schools and community-based organizations, the California Science Center developed the Learn to Earn Program (L2E), a science-enrichment and workforce preparedness program for teens (ages 14 to 17).

Goals of the Learn to Earn Program include:

  • Fostering self-esteem
  • Making science learning relevant to the interns’ lives
  • Using informal science education as a vehicle to build skills for academic achievement in all disciplines
  • Preparing students for the workforce and college by focusing on communication and leadership skills
  • Stimulating lifelong learning

Learn to Earn Interns are trained to serve as mentors and teaching assistants for Curator Kids Club, a science-enrichment program for children ages 10 to 13. In turn, experienced Science Center staff guide L2E Interns, helping them to develop communication, leadership and workplace skills and to articulate educational and career goals. Paid intern positions are available during the Year-Round and Summer program.
