[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see the harm in asking. She can offer to work some extra hours, if that woulf make any difference.  [b]After all, she is a high schooler.[/b] I just can't believe that an unpaid, high school intern is such a critical part of an org that this would really matter. Also, OP, is the internship actually in a field that she wants to enter, or is it a resume line for college? If a resume line, a reference doesn't matter. [/quote]

This.

[b]She really isn't in charge of her vacation. Her parents are. [/b]She can offer alternate arrangements.

And in terms of an important meeting she needs to be at?  No, there is no important meeting that a high schooler needs to attend. She can pass off any notes or info to someone to present on her behalf if need be.[/quote]

Exactly.  I agree that, if she knows about the vacation plans, she should inform the organization of them before starting.  But she's probably a minor, right?  No organization is going to expect a minor to skip the family vacation for an unpaid internship.  They can't possibly be that important.  Have her offer to make up the hours or something, but don't sweat it.  [/quote]
