About this file
The document is a CIVICx Internships Scoring Rubric from the City of St. Petersburg's Education & Youth Opportunities department, providing a comprehensive evaluation framework for youth civic internship programs. The rubric assesses potential internship initiatives across seven key criteria: Program Design and Implementation, Leadership and Curriculum, Financial Wellbeing and Career Development, Community Foundation Engagement, Civic Engagement Experience, Evaluation Strategy, Partnerships and Support, and Budget Alignment. Each criterion is scored on a 10-point scale with four performance levels: Exceeds Expectations (10-9), Meets Expectations (8-6), Below Expectations (5-3), and Not Evident (2-0).
The scoring matrix is designed to holistically evaluate internship proposals, with emphasis on structured program design, robust curriculum integration, meaningful mentorship, financial education, community foundation involvement, and clear evaluation mechanisms. Proposals are assessed on their ability to provide comprehensive youth development experiences that incorporate civic engagement, real-world learning, career exploration, and philanthropic exposure. The rubric enables systematic and objective assessment of internship programs, ensuring that selected initiatives demonstrate strong potential for meaningful youth professional and civic development.
