Current students in SUNY New Paltz Education Programs are invited to apply to be teaching apprentices with the Hudson Valley Writing Project during one of our weeklong Summer 2025 Young Writers Programs!
In HVWP’s Apprenticeship Program future teachers:
- Gain experience teaching writing. Working alongside HVWP master teachers, you will be a lesson planner, writer, teacher, and writing coach. You will learn about the writing process by helping young people generate, develop, and publish their writing.
- Practice collaborative planning and reflection. Each day, you will be part of a team reviewing and making teaching adjustments before young writers arrive and after they leave. You will also join HVWP teachers for a pre-program orientation, a school visit, and a post-program meeting to talk about what worked and ideas for improving future program
- Earn fieldwork hours and credit. Apprentices may document fieldwork hours and earn credit, including as an alternative placement for Fieldwork 1 & 2 or Fieldwork Experience 1 & 2.
We look for students to assist in our Young Writers Programs and in our office, gaining first-hand knowledge of how a non-profit organization works.
Apply here to be a HVWP intern!
