Summer Internship Mentor
If you run a business in the community or are a civic or non-profit leader with a project, Pelham Together has bright, energetic young people to help you over the summer! The Summer Internship Program provides internships for local high school students by placing them at various community organizations following a week-long leadership development training. The sponsoring agency agrees to mentor the intern for a period of 3 weeks, 10 hours per week, and the interns are paid minimum wage. By becoming a partnering organization and hosting an intern, you are an important source of connection, mentoring, and leadership development for the young people in Pelham. learn more >
Parents Talk
Our Parents Talk initiative brings speakers to Pelham in large and small venues - sometimes as large as an unlimited zoom conversation, or when possible, in small groups for more intimate conversations. Topics can be extremely timely - in response to an event, or more generally interesting. Usually questions from the community are collected in advance. Whenever possible, the discussion is recorded and we post them here, as well as shorter clips when that is useful.
Speaker/Film Series
Pelham Together regularly brings experts and authors, as well as relevant films, to Pelham to engage the community in discussion and healthy debate on topics relevant to healthy youth, engaged parenting, and energized community partnerships. Whenever possible, we partner with the Pelham Schools to ensure a visit to the appropriate grade levels for an assembly. These events are critically important to informing our parents and caregivers about current issues and risks that face our young people.
