6 A Brief History of La Salle Academy In , La Salle Academy celebrates 169 years of service in New York City. La Salle Academy had its first beginnings in 1848, when four De La Salle Christian Brothers arrived in New York from France and established Saint Vincent s School on Canal Street. St. Vincent s relocated to Second Street in 1856, and in 1887 changed its name to La Salle Academy. In 1936, the Academy erected the large five-story school building that stands today. For more than 160 years in New York City, the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle) have been caring for the spiritual and temporal educational needs of young men from poor and troubled families a charge issued to them by St. John Baptist De La Salle, the founder of the order, in the late seventeenth century. Today, the Brothers of the Christian Schools have taken this mission of Lasallian Catholic education from its humble beginnings in France to every corner of the globe.

7 La Salle Academy Believes that: La Salle Academy Core Beliefs Our mission is to educate and serve young men of financially challenged families. Authentic education must address and form all aspects of the human person: intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, emotional, and physical. Effective instruction and curriculum cultivates critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity, personal integrity, and responsibility in all students. Our Catholic identity, as particularly embodied in the Lasallian tradition, should be recognized across the curriculum and incorporated in daily classroom activities and all extracurricular opportunities. Gospel principles and Lasallian values supply the framework for which we provide opportunities for spiritual development and by which we evaluate decisions and policies affecting the school community. We should educate students with equal consideration for each learner and with the level of support necessary for each student to reach the highest level of academic achievement. Diversity, as expressed in ethnic, socioeconomic and religious ways, is a key element in building and fostering a community of socially responsible and culturally sensitive persons. We must create a safe and educationally sound environment in which we serve as models of faith, compassion, and kindness. We bear a responsibility to the wider community which requires that we emphasize global awareness, local community service, and a concern for peace and justice. We are in partnership with parents, alumni, and community leaders in our endeavor to form good citizens and active church members. Administration, faculty, and staff should constantly strive for the development of their own professional qualifications and knowledge base, participate in sharing best practice, and demonstrate commitment to innovation in order to motivate and empower students to achieve at their highest level.

8 LA SALLE WORKS (Founded in 2014) La Salle Works provides students real working experience through student internships in organizations across New York City. Students develop proper business etiquette and professional skills necessary to enter any work environment. Over the past two years, La Salle Academy has been proud to see its students earn internships and mentorships with a variety of professional organizations. In preparation, students learn how to prepare for a job interview, produce quality resumes, and develop personal networking skills. By dedicating themselves to this program, students earn an amazing opportunity to pursue their interests and prepare themselves for college and the professional world. Some of these opportunities include internships with: Internship, Mentorship, Employment & Volunteer Opportunities College and Career Preparation Introduction to Professional and Business Etiquette The goal of La Salle Works is to work to provide students with opportunities to gain real world experience in preparation for college and their future careers. In addition to fulfilling their daily academic responsibilities, La Salle Works students attend after-school program meetings multiple days per week throughout the school year. They collaborate with alumni and fellow students to develop their skills in professional etiquette and work with the program director to find an appropriate internship, mentorship, or employment opportunity. This year the program is privileged to offer dozens of fresh opportunities with a wide array of professional organizations throughout New York City.

9 La Salle Works Participation Guidelines for Students of La Salle The student placement process will be competitive. Participation in this program will be judged based on several factors including personal character, work ethic, and overall initiative. The opportunities listed in this guide were made possible because of the hard work and generosity of the friends, alumni, and family of La Salle. As a result, the same level of dedication and respect is expected if you decide to participate in this program. Students must consult Mr. Sullivan before formally applying for any opportunity. Even with parental permission, a thorough background check will be done to review a student s record of behavior and grades for all years at La Salle Academy. Any participation will be based on the La Salle Student/Parent Handbook policies on academic eligibility and behavior as well as the discretion of the program director. La Salle Academy Student/Parent Handbook Policies Students must obey all outlined rules and regulations within the La Salle Academy Student/Parent Handbook Academic Eligibility Extra-Curricular Activities Participation in extra-curricular activities is a privilege granted by the learning community to students in good standing both academically and behaviorally. Therefore, in order to participate in extra-curricular activities at La Salle Academy, students must maintain certain academic standards. Any student with two or more credits of failures in a quarter may not participate in any after-school activity until he is passing his courses. His eligibility status will be reviewed by the Assistant Principal for Academic Affairs (APAA)/Director of Guidance at the next progress report. Any appeal due to special circumstances must be made directly to the Principal whose decision will be final. Behavior in Public La Salle Academy students are very visible in the local community. They are required to exhibit proper conduct both before and after school. La Salle Academy students in public are often well known and highly regarded by many people. Therefore, students have definite responsibilities for their personal conduct and appearance. Unbecoming behavior in public areas or on private property reflects negatively on our students, their families, and our school. Misconduct of this nature will be considered a serious violation of student responsibility and will be handled accordingly.

10 Educational Excellence in the LaSallian Tradition La Salle Academy Conducted by the Brothers of the Christian Schools OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Fall 2016 Dear Students, Faculty, Parents, and friends of La Salle Academy, La Salle Academy has many extraordinary offerings for the bright, college bound, brilliant young men that walk our halls. In addition to our rigorous academic offerings and our sports and extracurricular activities, La Salle also offers an exciting opportunity that is near and dear to my heart, and the mission of our singular school. We call it La Salle WORKS!! La Salle WORKS is a curricular offering of internship and work experiences that are afforded to our upperclassmen. The world of work is an educational experience that we at La Salle believe must be part of the overall academic acumen of each young man that leaves La Salle. The paid and unpaid experiences are guided by our administration and faculty, and by our director of La Salle WORKS, Mr. Nolan Sullivan. The program carefully coordinates with workplace advisors that are vetted and responsible to ensure that these work experiences are all they must be. For over 168 years, La Salle Academy as the oldest catholic school in New York City has been producing young men who are good members of society but also academically sound. They are also world and work ready to take on the promise of the unlimited expectations of the Christian brothers that welcome them with open arms. La Salle WORKS is part of that puzzle. I encourage you to participate in any that you can. Let colleagues and business know that we have extraordinary young men and we would love for them to participate with an internship offering. Parents, engage us here at La Salle to find the exact right work opportunity for your son to move to his next place in Life. We are ready for the challenge. We are La Salle!

Mr. Sullivan goes through work etiquette, resume writing, interview skills, etc. He ensures that the students are prepared to venture into the professional world. Mr. Sullivan also spends a great deal of time researching the various internship sites to make sure that they are a proper environment for a teen to learn and grow. The benefits of participating in an internship program during the high school years are numerous. Students can: - Build their skills - Stand out in the college admissions process - Make resources and contacts - Gain hands-on experience - Refine their career goals I highly encourage students to take advantage of this amazing program.

12 September 2016 Dear La Salle students and family, Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of teaching Social Studies and directing the La Salle Academy Internship Program, La Salle Works. La Salle Works offers internship, mentorship, volunteer, and employment opportunities to the young men of the La Salle family. From humble beginnings, this program started with an idea from our own La Salle alumni to find ways to connect our students to the countless internship and career opportunities that New York City has to offer. With that goal in mind, I challenge the young men of La Salle to go above and beyond their regular academic expectations to see what they are truly capable of achieving. From the beginning of the school year, I invite the young men of La Salle to learn the proper business etiquette and skills necessary to enter a professional New York work environment. By dedicating themselves to this program, students earn an amazing opportunity to pursue their interests and prepare themselves for college and the professional world. Over the past few years, La Salle has been proud to have students earn opportunities with prestigious organizations in the fields of law, real estate, engineering, and many others. These success stories were made possible because of the generosity of the friends and alumni of La Salle in addition to the hard work shown by each student involved with the program. In addition to connecting students with internships, this organization has also strengthened the vast network of La Salle s students, alumni, friends, and family. As the number of participating students and alumni increases, La Salle Works will continue to become part of the foundation and culture of what makes a successful LaSallian young man. I welcome all of you current and new students to join La Salle Works and see what you can achieve. I eagerly await the start of the new school year to see what new success stories we will create together. Sincerely, Nolan Sullivan Director, La Salle Works

13 The Cooper Union The Albert Nerken School of Engineering Summer Stem Program The Albert Nerken School of Engineering at the Cooper Union has been preparing high school students to pursue undergraduate careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields for over 25 years. The Summer STEM Program is an intensive, six-week experience that immerses students in hands-on engineering design and problem-solving, thereby placing them on the right track for careers in technological innovation. Students work closely with Cooper Union faculty at the forefront of engineering education. Projects range broadly and include robotics, digital fabrication, computer programming and app development, biomedical and genetic engineering, improved urban infrastructure, and even racecar design. Faculty and teaching assistants from the departments of civil, chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering provide students with foundational knowledge and expert guidance to address real-world problems in their respective disciplines of expertise. Students also attend workshops on oral presentation skills, technical writing, career counseling, and college admissions. They are given access to Cooper Union s library resources, computer facilities, and laboratories to perform their research, design, analysis, and prototyping. Typically, projects include at least one field trip to a local museum, exhibition, or gallery to enhance the students experience. This program culminates with each group submitting a technical paper summarizing their research and presenting their work to an audience of invited guests. To recognize their successful completion of the program students will receive a certificate of achievement from the Albert Nerken School of Engineering. Program History and Goals: The Summer STEM Program, an expanded version of what was formerly known as the Summer Research Internship Program, builds on that legacy by broadening the access of an invaluable summer experience to more students than ever before. As part of that legacy, financial aid will be made available, up to 100% of the cost, for students who either meet criteria of need or who are otherwise underrepresented in the STEM fields. We therefore encourage all students to apply for this enriching educational opportunity. Program Period: Tuesday, July 5 through Thursday, August 11. Daily Schedule: Monday through Thursday 9:30 am to 3:30 pm 2016 Tuition & Fees: $3,100 and a non-refundable $50 application fee. Financial aid (up to 100%, including application fee) available to those who qualify. If the application fee is prohibitive, have your guidance counselor contact us so that we can discuss a waiver (summerstem@cooper.edu ). Please make sure that you start (but do not submit) your application online before this discussion happens. Transportation: At the discretion of the Metropolitan Transit Authority, students may receive Metrocards to cover transportation costs. ELIGIBILITY AND ADMISSIONS CRITERIA This program is open to current high school sophomores or juniors spending the summer in the Greater NYC area. Students must be sophomores or juniors during the period in which they apply (rising juniors and seniors in the summer they attend the program). Admission to the program is selective. We are looking for high-achieving students who have a passion for the STEM fields. These characteristics should be apparent in their transcript, personal essay, and letter of recommendation from a teacher in the STEM fields or a guidance counselor. Grades are not the only criteria for admission. We are looking for hard-working, creative students for whom this program would be transformative in their educational careers.

14 The Internship Program Are you a NYC high school student looking for an internship? The Internship Program provides paid, mentored internships and career readiness workshops to high school juniors and seniors. Students acquire hands-on experience, gain entry to small businesses, nonprofits, government agencies and multinational corporations and earn needed money. 95% of F+O interns successfully completed our Internship Program last year, working at over 160 corporations, nonprofits and government agencies. Key Components of the Internship Program There are five integral components to the Futures and Options Internship Program, which ensure that the internship is rewarding for the intern as well as the partnering business. The five components are the student recruitment and application process, intern placement, career readiness workshops and monitoring, and collaboration with school staff and mentors/supervisors. Student Recruitment and Application Process Each school semester, Futures and Options recruits students in coordination with partnering schools as well as through the Futures and Options website and various referrals. After the students submit the required Internship Program application, Futures and Options staff interview and assess the eligible candidates. Intern Placement Before Futures and Options sends internship candidates to employers, our staff meets with prospective employers and the supervisors/mentors to assess the work situation, explore the interns' responsibilities, and discuss the supervisors/mentors' role. After assessing each student's abilities, goals and interests, Futures and Options schedules interviews for prospective interns with compatible firms. Career Readiness Workshops After internship placements are confirmed, the interns may attend group or individual orientation sessions, which include work-readiness workshops that focus on interpersonal skills, proper business demeanor, dress and self-presentation as well as interviewing skills, resume writing, attentive listening and office technology. Interns visit with professionals during the workshops as well as at their businesses to learn firsthand about different careers. Monitoring Throughout the internship, Futures and Options' staff meet with the supervisors/mentors on-site and with the interns at their internship sites and during the workshops. Futures and Options' staff regularly call and visit each internship site to evaluate intern progress and work site quality. Since these are paid internships, Futures and Options' makes clear to all that an internship may be terminated. Interns recognize and accept this meaningful reality. Collaboration with School Staff and Mentors/Supervisors The close coordination among school personnel, supervisors/mentors and Futures and Options staff reflects their shared commitment to

15 support the growth and success of each student, and is a core element in the program's success. Futures and Options' staff regularly hold meetings with supervisors/mentors and school teachers, counselors and coordinators to reinforce the role each plays in the education of the interns. Internship Program Application The Futures and Options Internship Program provides New York City students with critical workreadiness training and the opportunity to gain firsthand work experience as interns with a dynamic range of business partners. At the same time, the Internship Program introduces these business partners to a pipeline of promising, motivated and diverse young men and women who make meaningful contributions to their business, while training to become the leaders of tomorrow. Futures and Options interns work in paid, mentored internships that best match their skills and interests. After submitting the online application, applicants interview with Futures and Options program coordinators. Applicants who are accepted into the Internship Program will also interview with supervisors at our business partners for specific internship positions. In some cases, applicants may interview at several businesses for different internship opportunities. If you are hired as a Futures and Options intern, you must be prepared to: 1) Work the required number of hours. After School interns: hours a week. Interns are not expected to work more than 15 hours a week. Summer interns: hours a week. 2) Arrive at work on time each day dressed in the appropriate attire. Work schedules are determined by business site needs and the intern's school schedule. Appropriate attire is dependent on the business site's culture and supervisor guidelines. 3) Attend regularly scheduled career-readiness workshops and career exploration field trips. Learn skills needed to be successful in the workplace. Share ideas and learn from your peers who are interns at different businesses. Build your professional network.

The good news is that your expected family/school contribution is only $795, which includes a $20 application fee and $150 deposit. How is this program so affordable, when other programs charge as much as $3,000 for a week? If you qualify for admission, our university partners underwrite a large portion of the costs before you even apply. We also have an annual team of investors and volunteers who contribute resources and donate their time. Together these resources help make the NHI tuition more accessible to families and school entities. In addition, applying early gives you more time to find resources for transportation. Space is limited, so stake your claim early with an upfront tuition payment or work with our team on another option. III. Collegiate World Series NHI is familiar with the fact that from one day to the next, high school seniors are expected to make the transition to independent adult life. The CWS prepares students for the emotional ups and downs of adapting to life away from their parents, making large financial investments, managing time effectively, understanding various cultures and lifestyles different from their own, and making critical decisions that eventually chart the course of their life journey. For five days, the CWS shepherds students into the transition of going into independent mode adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it. Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) is the core methodology of this program, which engages students in an investigative and question-driven approach to mapping out the next 12 to 60 months of their lives. Of NHI s three high school leadership programs, the CWS represents the most serious and thoughtprovoking experience. It is also the program that tests students ability to transform challenges into workable solutions. How to Become a CWS Participant If you are a college bound 11th grade student (graduating class of 2017) and have a minimum 3.3/4.0 (standard) or 4.0/5.0 (weighted) or 88/100 GPA or 8.8/10 GPA, with firm intentions of going to college, then you qualify for admission. CWS Attendance Details NHI hosts the Collegiate World Series on the campuses of top university/host partners. Safety and student security are top priorities of the NHI staff, who work tirelessly with the campus safety team at each university to ensure that students are well cared for during the program. Upon arrival to the campus, students register and are assigned to stay in single-gender residencies with plenty of older mentors staying on each floor if students have special needs or concerns. Student tuition to attend the CWS is manageable only $625 for the five day program experience. This includes meals at the university cafeteria.

Exploring reaches out to New York City's young adults in every community to help build up relations between the community and New York City Police Department. Explorers are taught the importance of higher education, self-discipline, and respect for authority while they actively participate in community service projects and other Exploring events. Methods Exploring relies on three primary methods to attain its goals: youth leadership, positive adult role models, and the five Exploring Experience Areas. Youth Leadership: The Explorers elect their own officers and are promoted within a rank structure. Explorers will plan and execute most of their activities. This process will encourage Explorers to see how their self-discipline can either help or impair the group. Positive Adult Role Models: The positive interaction of Explorers and Law Enforcement Officers help young adults see officers as real people, and affords opportunities to build positive relationships between the New York City Police Department and the communities of our city. Five Experience Areas: Exploring feels that an appreciation and commitment to the following areas are crucial to the development of all young people: Life Skills, Service Learning, Character Education, Leadership Experience, and Career. Competitions Annually, nearly 2,500 young men and women from all 50 states take part in the week-long Law Enforcement & Fire/EMS Explorers Conference to learn law enforcement and fire/ems skills and tips from some of the highest ranking law enforcement and fire/ems officials in the country.
