Sponsors are responsible for providing one week of professional experience to their externs. There is no future obligation of any kind. The role of the extern is jointly determined with the sponsor. The extern may be a participant, an observer, or both, depending on the nature of the career field and the availability of the sponsor. Goals should be determined in advance, for a predetermined role for the student will greatly enhance the extern experience.
Externs are personally responsible for all housing and transportation arrangements.
SARG is unable to provide financial assistance to externs, and sponsors are not required to compensate the externs in anyway. Many organizations help support participating students with overnight accommodations, meals or stipends. However, this is by no means a requirement, rather a suggestion. SARG may also work with prospective alumni clubs to secure housing for externs, but students should look for housing opportunities with friends or family. Mentor Program SARG also sponsors a mentor program which aims to match students with alumni mentors from around the country.
