CITY OF SEBASTOPOL CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM REPORT FOR MEETING OF: October 1, 2024
=========================================================================================== To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: Vice Mayor Zollman
Assistant City Manager/City Clerk
Subject: Consideration of Approval of Early College Credit Capstone Internship Program with Analy High School and Santa Rosa Junior College and Budget Amendment for $2500 for two Students to Work with the City of Sebastopol through the Internship Program =========================================================================================== RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council Approve the Early College Credit Capstone Internship Program with Analy High School and Santa Rosa Junior College and Budget Amendment for $2500 for two Students to Work with the City of Sebastopol through a paid Internship Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An increasing number of students in Sonoma County are graduating from high school with college credits. One of those programs is the Early College Credit Capstone Internship Program. Students have dual enrollment which means that a high school student is enrolled in a college course and many dual enrollment programs also include career training in areas, such as local government. This aims to give students entry into a career after high school or a headstart in college. Students learn to apply 21st century skills, also known as "soft skills," in a work environment. Softskillsinclude teamwork, effective communication, time management, adaptability, and problem solving. Not only are the students interning in an area that they feel they are working towards, but they also learn through mentoringwith employerssuch asthe City, to become the kind of employee employers want to hire, retain, and promote.
Internships provide youth with short-term, practical experiences to learn about careers, develop networks, and experience the workplace. Not only is this encouraging our future to be involved in local government, it is also a step to promote a local workforce by employing our local youth. Internships allows access to mentoring, civic engagement, and helps our youth to form relationships with supportive adults while contributing to their local community by engaging in the day to day operations of local government.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Through Vice Mayor Zollman, the City of Sebastopol met with Stacy Fortin, Work-Based Learning Coordinator. Analy and Laguna High School, to discuss the potential collaboration of the City and local high schools to provide an opportunity for students who are interested in local government to have the opportunity to learn about local government through a paid internship. These internships allows the students to learn skills that will support placement and job opportunities in their careers; applying the skills they learn through internships to their future career paths; and earn college credits as well.
This internship program pairs students from high school with employers from a targeted industry sector. Students engage directly with a mentor in the workplace to do authentic, hands-on work over the course of a semester. To support that experience, concurrently, they take the internship program at Santa Rosa Junior College and earn college credit for their successful completion of both the course and internship.
Internships give youth the opportunity to explore what they like and do not like about certain careers. They allow youth who might not know what career they want to pursue with a chance to see whether a certain environment, Agenda Item Number: 9

job, or management style fits their needs. Both on-the-job experience and the application process allow youth to develop skills so that they are able to enter the job market with relevant career experience. By participating in internships, the program also can provide networking opportunities, allowing youth to connect with professionals in the field of interest. These connections can lead to mentorship, job recommendations, and even future employment opportunities. (A copy of the Internship Program is attached for additional information).
Students participate through our Work Experience class, which meansthey earn both high school and college credit at the same time (technically called "dual credit").
Students should be engaging in a mutually beneficial experience with employers; they do authentic work that helps the employer while also gaining valuable skills and learning from that experience.
Based upon the information of the students’ interests, the City found placement for two students starting in October 2024 (upon approval of this program); as well as one potential internship beginning in January. If that is the case, the City would return during mid year budget to request funding for that internship.
Staff met with department directors and found that all departments were enthusiastic about the possibility of having an intern to learn about local government in their specialized fields. After relaying that information to the students, Ms. Fortin stated she had two students wanting to work for the City: One student is interested in journalism and one student is interested in the government accounting.
Staff Analysis:
Staff has reviewed the program and costs and is supportive of paid internships. It recommended that the internships not exceed 60 hours and be paid at the Sebastopol’s living wage rate of $21.25 per hour.
Budget Committee Review:
The Budget Committee reviewed this item at their September 23rd 2024 Budget Committee meeting with the following comments:
Both Committee members (Vice Mayor Zollman and Councilmember Maurer) supported the paid internship program.
Vice Mayor Zollman supported the paid internship program at the rate of $21.25 Councilmember Maurer supported the paid internship program at the rate of $18.10 COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
This item has been noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to schedule meeting date. The City has also used social media to promote and advertise the City Council Meeting Agenda Items.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cost is dependent upon City. The cost depends on the City's option between the current Sonoma County’s living wage ($18.10) and Sebastopol’s living wage ($21.25). Staff recommends that the Council approve the use of the Sebastopol’s living wage rate if the program is approved. The program would run from October 15th to December 19th, which is 9 weeks. At 6 hours per week, this totals 54 hours. If the City approves a maximum of not to exceed 60 hours, which is more than the required 54 hours, the request would be for a budget amendment of $2,500 for two students.

Being a Mentor
Defining the Mentor €xperience
Mentoring is exciting, challenging, and rewarding. lt holds great promise for helping young people in a meaningful way. Caring mentors offer support, consistency, and a chance for a young person to develop the knowledge and skills needed for their fullest potential. Mentors have the opportunity to pass on values, lessons learned, and social skills from their generation to the next. Given the realities of our public high schools and the difficulties associated with adolescence, mentoring may not be "smooth sailingJ' lt is an experience, however, through which both mentor and mentee can learn and change. As a mentor, you can be absolutely certain that you will make a difference.
What is a mentar?
A mentor is... A mentor is not...
. a responsible adult
r a trusted guide
o a good listener
o a reliable role model
o aprofessionaladvisor
. an active sponsor
o a "real-world" trainer
r a teacher of life skills
o anadvocateforstudents
o an opener ofdoors
Benefits to mentees:
Mentors frequently ask, "Am I making a
difference? What are the signs of progress
that can be considered successful in a
mentor/mentee relationship?" For some, it
may be years before a mentee looks back in
retrospect, and says, "You knowwho made
a difference in my life? My mentori' Here
are some signs of success which mentors
and teachers may observe in mentees as a
result of the relationship:
o lmproved motivation and self esteem
r lmproved eye contact and smiles
r More volunteering in class/on the job
r lncreased communication,enthusiasm
r lmproved interaction with peers
r Happier demeanor at school/on the
job
o a disciplinarian
o a savior
r a therapist
o a counselor
r a socialworker
. a parent
o a peer
r "just" a boss
Benefits to mentors:
Mentors make a difference in the lives of young
people. The one-to-one relationship with a student
mentee may also provide personal benefits to the
mentor such as:
r More satisfaction in the workplace
o More fulfillmentwith the commitment as a
volunteer in the community
o A greater understanding of the education
system and education-related issues
r Satisfaction of impacting a student's life

Guidelines for Mentorship
Once committed to mentoring, mentors should recognize that they will have a significont impoct on o student's life. Throughout the mentoring process, mentors are osked to:
M*ke time: One of the most important responsibilities of the mentor is being available and accessible to students. This includes showing up to every meeting and being present at the work site. ln the case of an unavoidable conflict, we ask that mentors schedule an alternate meeting date with students during the same week, if possible.
Be reliable: Consistent accountability builds trust, establishes a positive example, and creates constructive mutual expectations. Mentors should communicate with the high school program coordinator and/or student if there is a conflict with a particular meeting or work date. Mentors are also asked to reply to student emails in a timely manner.
Be a prnfessional rnle rnodel. Professional language, dress, and behavior is requested of all mentors. Role modeling involves showing students by example how to be professionals. Mentors can help mentees strive for possibilities beyond what they may see in their present environment.
Listen and encourage. Keep an open mind. Other adults in a young person's life may not have the time, interest, or ability to listen. Mentors can encourage young people to talk about their fears, dreams, and concerns. A mentor may, in fact, be the only adult in the mentee's life that truly listens.
Mentors can help the mentee build self-confidence, self-esteem, and cultural pride byfocusing on talents, assets, and strengths.

SRJC Employer Guide to Developing an Internship
Wlr*t is an internship?
Internships are designed by the employer to meet their organizational needs, while providing for the educational and training needs of the intern. lnternships offer students an opportunity to expand their education by putting classroom theory into practice, test tentative career choices, and build their professional experience in preparation for graduation. lnterns make a short-term commitment to work for an employer to gain valuable experience to the work environment as it relates to their academic pathway.
The employer, in turn, commits to providing a learning experience and specific work assignments related to a student's studies. An internship can be part-time or full-time and must be paid if the position is with a "for-profit" business. Non-profit organizations can be unpaid based on the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act), though the applicant pool will be stronger with paid positions. Academic credit is given to students upon successful completion of an internship.
l'{ow do interns contribute tc the business?
lnterns are a valuable resource. They may:
o assist with special projects (tackle a "wish list"), organize research projects, plan special events, and develop special promotional campaigns r provide additional help during peak business periods
r offerfresh, creative perspectives and energy
o contribute experience with research techniques, computer skills, and current theoretical knowledge
. serve as additional staff at minimal cost without making a long-term commitment r provide an organization with a low-risk opportunity to try out a possible new employee for a future job opening
Organizatisna I Support
When hosting an intern at your employment site, consider the following:
o Who will supervise and guide the intern?
r Where will the intern's work area be located? Do they need equipment? r What kind of orientation and trainingwillthe intern need? e What hours willthe intern work?
r How much will the intern be paid?
o lnform other staff members regarding the intern's schedule and duties Paid or Unp*id?
We encourage employers to pay students for internships for two reasons. First, students, especially students from diverse backgrounds, need to work to support themselves and their families. Second, employers have a much stricter standard for meeting the i=qd-s{#llqb{?r-$tsfid*d$4$f guidelines for an unpaid internship. Here is the link for the ilL$A fsrm required by the J.C. if you choose to implement an unpaid internship.

Work Readiness Certifi cate
As students participate in the Capstone lnternship Program, they have the opportunity to simultaneously pursue a Work Readiness Certificate from the Sonoma County Office of Education. By completing steps to earn the certificate, students can explore, develop, and demonstrate Sonoma County Portrait of a Graduate skills and mindsets. Successful completion of the certificate gives students special consideration for employment with local businesses endorsing the project. A student can complete the process over the course of a semester, a year, or several years.
Two required elements to earn the certificate:
o Part l: Digital Portfolio
e Part ll: Readiness lnterview
What is the Work Readiness Digital Partfalio?
* The portfolio is the "home" for showcasing and commentating on students'experiences and work throughout the certification process. lt is recommended that students create a website or blog page to house their portfolio. As students navigate through the six Portrait of a Graduate outcomes, they provide evidence in their portfolios that demonstrates their "readiness" in each area. This evidence may be expressed in various forms but should always coincide with commentary explaining how it aligns with each Portrait outcome. * Once a student has completed the portfolio portion, the program coordinator or a teacher will evaluate the student's readiness based on evidence and commentary provided and will either return the portfolio for revision and development or will recommend the student submit the portfolio to SCOE for evaluation, at which point a representative from SCOE will read and score the final product. Additionally, if the portfolio is sufficient, the teacher/ program coordinator will recommend the student for the Readiness Interview What is the Readiness lnterview?
* For this portion of the project, a student will prepare for a job interview-style interaction with a panel of industry and community leaders. Through the course of the interview, the student will discuss and explain how their experiences and evidence demonstrate readiness for various Portrait outcomes. The panel will provide a "Ready" or "Not Ready Yet" score.
The Work Readiness Certificate
* Once both the Digital Portfolio and the Readiness lnterview have been successfully completed, a student earns the Work Readiness Certificate. This document, endorsed by local professionals, may be cited on resumes and may earn the student priority consideration when applying for jobs from sponsoring businesses. Students may continue to show and build upon their portfolios for future job interviews, as well.
