Voluntary Student Internship - Hutchinson High School

Salthawk Center Volunteer Student Internship

We are excited to begin the process of selecting our credit union volunteer student interns for the 2019/2020 school year! Hutchinson High School and Heartland Credit Union have partnered together to create this program in order to support student financial literacy and workforce readiness education. As an applicant for the volunteer internship program at the Salthawk Center, you will be required to turn in all the items listed below by the deadline. Once all the materials are collected, we will contact selected applicants for an interview with HHS and Heartland staff. Not all applicants will be granted an interview. Interviews will be held during school hours. Please keep in mind this is a significant commitment. Interns will work at the Salthawk Center Monday Friday during designated times.

Interns will also be expected to complete financial literacy courses and may even be asked to help teach these courses to fellow students. Summer training will be necessary in order to prepare student interns for working at the branch. Be prepared to be available for training from Monday, August 10 - Wednesday, August 19, 2020. We will provide more details regarding the exact schedule.

Branch hours of operation will be as follows: Monday Friday: 7:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. when school is in session.
