Its goal is to pr ovide the broad spectrum of college students Hith an opportunity to become involved in urban areas, applying their academic kno1:·J ledge, their youth, and their enthusiasum. 1'!1e program is a co-operative effort of the City of f' tlanta, The Atlanta area collegeG, Federal Government, private enterprise, metropolitan agencies, and the Atlanta area college students. Th is cooperation, the belief t ;1at the college student should play a significant role in t h e policy making, and the involvement of private enterprise, makes the /\.tlanta U.;;·ban Corps a potential "model" prozram fo:c the nation. 'i't1e Atlanta Urban Corps does not try to expause .2: philosophy but rather it opens doo:.:-s ·=. It p r ovides the oppo:.:-tunity to live ~-1 ith the problems that plague Ame~ican cities today. It is demandin 6 on the individual's hi3h flying ideas 8nd deman<l n a harsh look into the microscope 0£ Amer ican social institutions. 11 It is unlikely that the f>.tlantc.1 Urban c ,..,:;:·ps ,-Jill p:c oduce " instant solutions;' . But it is on its (my to involving youth in constructive. educational channels. Our ;::oal is to help people i'.'esi.1ape their t h inkin:.:; .sbcut youth and the city, and to ca}:· e. �LEGAL ASPECTS Dennis J. Webb, of the Law Firm Nall, Hiller, Cadenhead & Dennis, has been taking care of the various legal aspects of turning the Atlanta Ur ban Corps into a reality.

Received Name Certificate from Secretary of State on February 19, 1969, verifying that there is no other corporation with identical or similar name on record. 3. Drafted Application for Charter. 4. Received Publisher's Affidavit on March 5, 1969, verifying publication of Charter Application once a week for four weeks. 5. Judge McKenzie of Fulton Superior Cour t signed Order granting Charter on April 5, 1969. 6. Received Charter signed and sealed by Secretary of State incorporating Atlanta Urban Corps. 7.

The fore goi ng documents are on f ile in the Minute Book of the Corporati on . �ATLANTA URBAN CORPS INTERNSHIP DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY 1. Dual Goals of Internship A. Service Thr ough Agency to Community. B. Learning E:tperience (for Student, University, and Agency). 11. Needs of the Agency A. Relevancy of Internship to the Agency's Mission--the intern must be involved in a project through which he can express his creativi.ty and serve as a productiu.e source of agency output, not as a monitoring recipient of agency information (a non-contributing educational role). 111 . Needs of the Intern A. To _Know Exactly wbat His Assignment Is--provide him with a list of objectives and primary responsibilities; also develop a schedule, but one that the student and agency can change together and personalize as he grows into the internship ie. outline a planned approach, the mechanics of the assignment, but leave plent y of room for the intern to express his creativity and for modifications. B. Clearly Specify His Agency Personnel Resources--this should be someone the student knows he can go to with his pr oblems not vice- versa; a student advisor should aid the student in r eflecting on his internship exper i ence and the r eby assist him in relating it to his education. l V. Interaction Dynamics- - The Subtle Appr oach A. Help the Agency Define Chal l enging , Ye t Realistic Internships - -le t the agency describe i ts needs , then ass i st i n meeti ng t hose needs with i nte r nships that mee t the nee ds of t he i nt ern as well. 1. ) Prevent As s ignment s That Requi r e Too Lit tle of t he Intern-- eg . an err and- boy r ol e, or job pos iti on devoi d of educ a tional signi ficanc e , too limited i n scope. 2.) Prevent Assignments Tha t Requi r e Too Much-- eg . an ana l ys i s pr oblem whose pr opensity exceeds an i nter n ' s educa t ional compe t ence or time l imit , V. Evaluati on (This sec ti on i s i ncluded with t he philosophy of Internship Development because the development of a s ound system of selfevaluati on is an essenti a l phase of our program.) A. Standard Eva luation Forms f or I nterns (Counselors and Agencies) B. Some Form of Final Written Report by the I ntern 1.) Type of Report Dependent on Type of I nternship a.) Research projects will require extensive repor ts. b.) Non- research projects will require less extensive repor ts, but the educational relevance of t h ese internsh i ps may be en t irely dependent on the e ffort t he inter n spends i n producing it. C. The Va lue of Evaluation 1.) Va lue t o At lanta Ur ban Cor ps --these r eport s will s erve a s the major source of f eedback fr om the int erns and ther e fore, wil l be of centra l importance to an effective eva lua tion progr am . 2 . ) Value to the Student- -forc es interns to articulate his experience, and thereby analyze its educational significance. 3.) Va lue a s a Stimulus to the Agency- - the information and suggestions provided the agency can serve as a basis for agency evaluation and improvement. �INTERNSHIP DEVELOPMENT

It has been decided to limit recruitment to these nine campuses this year because of time and efficiency considerations. However, the u ,_ ban Corps will accept applications from any colle~e s tud ent re::,a r,ness of his school. In the future active recruitment t·1 ill take pl~ce at many schools in the Southeast. 1\ pproximate recruitment quotas have been conside:ced fo;: each campus and in some cases limited fund availability (CWS P) has forced us to limit recruitment and not 30 all out. /' t Emory for example, our Coordinator assu,:es us that ,·}ith an all out campaign he could recruit 600 students but yet oith only 3 CUSP slots available at Emor y ~-1e f1ave elec ted to only utili ze limited publicity in an effort to limit t he numbe r of applications to a mo:ce reasonable level. Although it o oul<l. be premature to make any predictions at this time, ear ly reaponse t o t h e U:cban Cr,:,.:ps among the stu:.lents has been terrific and v1e feel o e u ill have no difficulty in fillinc the available job slots. �
