The Mentor/Tutor Internship at the University of Rhode Island (MTI@URI) is dedicated to providing great interns from URI to aid in a wide variety of schools and programs across the state. Our program offers either three or six credits to student interns in exchange for 44 or 100 hours of service, depending upon the amount of credits they intend to receive. After having the interns fill out a placement survey, we connect them with one of the schools and programs we partner with, ranging from pre-K through high school. Intern progress is tracked during the semester through classroom work and maintained contact with our placements. Personal growth is seen equally in the interns as in the students they mentor.
