Student Opportunities
NYRR Run for the Future applications are still open for the summer season! Applications are due April 17, 2023.
Run for the Future is a free six-week program that introduces 11th and 12th grade high school young women* to the sport of running. Applicants to the program do not self-identify as runners or actively participate in sports. With support from our NYRR’s program team and coaching staff, they are taught running techniques and goal setting to develop the ability, confidence, and motivation to be active for life. Run for the Future participants are also provided lessons in self-care and wellness that introduce a holistic approach to achieving their fitness goals.
Participants receive a MetroCard for in-person practices, New Balance uniforms and sneakers, healthy snacks, and a wellness kit to support their running and fitness needs during the season. At the conclusion of the program, the new runners participate in their first 5K (3.1-mile) race. Those who maintain an 80% attendance rate during practice sessions and participate in the 5K race will receive a $500 wellness grant to be used to invest in their personal health and self-care needs.
We appreciate you sharing the attached flyer with 11th and 12th grade young women who might benefit from this unique opportunity. Spaces are limited, so please encourage applicants to apply now. Visit our website to access the application and eligibility requirements. To be considered for the summer training season, the online application must be completed by April 17, 2023.
Thank you!
*We use the words “young women” broadly to include cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, those currently exploring their gender identity, and anyone who identifies as a young woman.
Best,
NYRR Run for the Future

Student Historian Internship Program

Student Historian interns are high school-aged students who use the resources of New-York Historical to conduct exciting research and share their scholarship through creative digital projects. Interns meet with professional staff to learn about careers in the museum, library, and history fields; work collaboratively with fellow students to develop their public speaking and leadership skills; and engage in hands-on work to deepen their understanding of American history. The theme of the internship is Our Composite Nation: Frederick Douglass’ America.
Interns who attend a Title 1 School or are eligible for free or reduced lunch will be offered a stipend to participate. Unpaid internships will be provided for all other accepted students, with the option to receive community service hours or school credit. Participation in this program can be used to fulfill the extracurricular requirement for the NYSED Seal of Civic Readiness. We accept 25 interns per cohort. This internship takes place in person.
