History buffs:
Student Historian Program of the New York Historical Society
As someone who has completed this training, I unequivocally support this training. Unlike other training programmes, the N-YHS program is uniquely dedicated to enhancing the education of its participants rather than assigning them menial tasks. If you are interested in learning more about history, further developing your research skills, and meeting other like-minded high school students, then this internship is for you.
