Project Recommendations
Introduction
 The 2009 STUDY program provided twenty (20) high school students residing in
North Miami an enriching academic-work experience internship.
 STUDY focused on government planning and urban economic development, the
project’s activities supported the North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency’s
(CRA) mission of investing in the socio-economic development of the community.
 The STUDY project had two main thrusts:
 The first, addressed the socio-political component of urban life;
 The second, demystified the technical and scientific components of government and urban
planning. Relevant urban planning issues were analyzed through instructors, staff and guest
speakers’ lectures, workshops, and seminars.
 For greater comprehension and appreciation of the topics a field trip to Savannah,
GA and Tallahassee, FL, was incorporated in the curriculum.
 The interns were required to commit to a specific research topic, and under staff
supervision, prepare a professional quality report and present it to the public.
The 2009 research topics were:



Sexually Transmitted Disease in North Miami as Compared to North Miami Beach.
Teen (Gang) Violence in North Miami in Comparison with North Miami Beach.
Raising the Quality of Education in North Miami and North Miami Beach: A Teachers’
Perspective.
STUDY Advisory Committee
 The STUDY Advisory Committee provides guidance to the project. Its main
responsibilities are as follows:




Provide feedback and suggestions to the project staff in order to maximize
effectiveness of services.

STUDY Objectives
 The 2009 STUDY project focused on motivating and increasing the
analytical skills of twenty (20) high school interns of primarily
economically disadvantaged backgrounds for potential college or
vocational studies in the field of urban planning and development.
 The STUDY outreach created a pipeline of over 200 students
representing a pool of potential applicants.
 The STUDY introduced interns, who might otherwise not have the
opportunity, to a potentially rewarding academic experience.
 The STUDY interns were motivated through close social and
intellectual interaction with instructors, urban planning professionals,

Therazin, Jennifer
I graduated from Somerset Academy in 2009. I am
attending the University of Florida on a full
scholarship and double majoring in journalism and
business to pursue a law degree. I had gained so much 
experience from the STUDY program that is
unbelievable. One of my favorite parts was the
trip because in Tallahassee we got to meet state
officials and visit the state capital building and in
Georgia we visited Haitian monuments and learned
about Haitian history. There is so much to gain in the
program and a perfect example are the lectures and
the internship. The lectures teach you about the issues
of the city and help for the projects assigned which in
fact allow you to gain social and oral skills.
The internship allows you to work in the field of your
choice. I had the chance to work in Andre Pierre's law
office and received a one on one view of my future
profession. The whole program was an experience I
can never forget and the knowledge and connections
you obtain only enhance the memory.
Therazin, Octania
I am a current junior at Somerset Academy Charter
High School. This S.T.U.D.Y internship program has
been nothing but beneficial to me as well as my fellow
interns, this program has been very successful and
filled with opportunity. This internship gave me many
opportunities such as meeting important people and
gaining experience in my field of interest. I will refer
this program to anyone who is looking for a great
opportunity.
Williams, Lynard
I am a Class of '09 graduate from North Miami
Senior High. I am an African American. I'm a very
hardworking young man and I believe I can achieve
anything I put mind to. My first plan was to go to
Miami Dade College to major in Emergency Medical
Technician, then I thought about going to the Navy to
become an Emergency Medical Technician. But I've
made up my mind, and I'm going to stick with my first
plan which is to attend Miami Dade College.

STUDY Pipeline

A pipeline program was created with 213 students in 9th – 12th grade participating in academic and
counseling sessions at both NMSH and the Griffing Community Center.

The academic sessions lasted anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes over a 6-month period.
Essentially they consisted of a lecture on the history of the city of North Miami including the CRA, as
well as their political and administrative structures. In addition, to test the students understanding of
the material presented pre and post lecture examinations were administered.


Curriculum design began on December 2008, and lasted through June 10, 2009, and was created such that most subjects/topics covered had
an explicit connection with the planning, operation and management of a city.
The STUDY implementation plan was characterized by the delivery of the academic curriculum throughout the period February 07 - July 30,
2009. The curriculum was subdivided around five basic themes:
 History of the City and the CRA
 Public Administration and Financing
 Research Methodology
 Infrastructure
 Urban Social Issues / Challenges
STUDY RESEARCH PROJECT



The weekly Saturday program (10:00 am – 2:00 pm) starts with a 15-minute orientation followed by 1hr45mns session. At twelve noon, the
interns take a break for lunch. At 12:45 they return to their session until 1:45 pm, when they complete the daily evaluations.
The STUDY academic internship program also involved the interns in the production of research projects. Additionally, these activities gave
the interns an insight into issues and tasks involved in real-life projects. The project themes were Education, Youth Crime and Health.
The three groups presented the results of their research in a public forum on July 17, 2009.

Interns On-site Assignments

The process of locating host departments for the interns’ assignments began in January 2009 with a
massive letter campaign targeting 125 businesses and institutions in the county. Interns worked for a
4-week period from June 15 to July 10, 2009. Ultimately eight agencies/institutions were willing to
provide onsite work experience to the interns.

Follow-up Meeting
 On Saturday, July 18, 2009, a follow-up meeting was
scheduled for the interns and staff that had participated in
the STUDY. Four items were on the agenda:

Discussion of the STUDY program.

Discussion of the research presentations.

Final exam designed to evaluate the interns’ understanding of the material
covered during the sessions.

Finally, based on their academic school grade level, the interns were
presented with a cashiers check for $1,000/$1,100/$1,200 equivalent to the
sum earned for their monthly on-site internship.
Evaluation of Program Elements
 At the end of each academic session, interns were provided an evaluation form
in which they were to assess the day’s activities with respect to the following:
the instructors/guest speakers, the class sessions and the staff. The data
obtained was to serve as feedback for addressing immediate critical issues and
to assist us in improving the courses implemented in the STUDY program.

95% interns either strongly agree or agree that the materials were clearly presented.

94% said the instructors/guest speakers encouraged discussion.

92% either strongly agree or agree that staff was attentive to their needs.

83% of the interns who participated in the trip found the experience to be helpful.

89% found it very interesting.
The interns also evaluated the STUDY program as a whole on several criteria.

65% found the trip to be the most interesting part of the program.

24% found the onsite internship was the most interesting.

16 out the 17 graduates (94%) would recommend the program to their peers.
Conclusion
 For its first fully funded year, the STUDY Program can be considered as a success. It
introduced interns, who might otherwise not have the opportunity, to a potentially
rewarding academic experience.
 Specifically, the project was successful because:








It serviced 241 North Miami Students.
It graduated 17 out 20 interns (85%).
It provided three outstanding research presentations delivered at a public forum.
It brought the interns to close interactions with public officials, including Governor Charlie Crist.
It received overwhelming support from major community agencies, both public and private.
The interns performed very well in their on-site assignments (all received maximum score of five in
their supervisor evaluations).
The fact that 16 out of the 17 graduates (94%) would recommend the STUDY Program to their peers.
The outstanding support receiving from city and county agencies as well as the private sector
companies.
 While challenges were faced, e.g., transport logistics, drop out ratio, the added
element of the interns working onsite, researching an issue and presenting their
results in a public forum, proved to be very successful. The project introduced
interns to the challenging opportunities in the urban planning arena while
offering them a trip to Savannah, GA and Tallahassee, FL.
Project Recommendations
Following the completion of the CRA STUDY 2009, the Advisory Committee and staff evaluated the
project. The following are the topics/possible improvements that were addressed:

INTERN RECRUITMENT


RESEARCH PROJECTS AND CURRICULUM



This year in collaboration with Global Solutions Agency, Inc., led by Ms. Guylene Berry, JHS staff
advertised the program on radio for a two-month period.
A sophisticated pipeline was created, where hourly sessions were provided to 213 current 9 – 12th grades
students in order to create a pool of potential applicants.
A similar program will be implemented with the new Mourning Senior High School in 2009-2010.
Graduating interns will also be involved in the recruitment process.
The interns would have preferred if more time had been allocated to work on their projects. Next year, the
number of hours assigned for the (group) projects will increase.
Public speaking sessions will be added as part of the regular academic sessions to improve the curriculum.
ON SITE INTERNSHIPS
While the project has received support from key agencies; STUDY staff must continue to explore potential
partnerships with the North Miami private sector, the county and the State. Federal agencies based in the
county will also be approached.

STUDY PROGRAM LOCATION
Some alternative location to FIU Biscayne Bay Campus will be pursued, e.g., Johnson and Wales and Barry
Universities.
