Interns will support planning and implementing activities for children and families, shadow family case management, and collaborate with team members on events. They will also perform clerical duties and fulfill tasks assigned by their supervisor.
Candidates must be actively enrolled in an accredited college or university and commit to working 16-24 hours per week. Strong academic records and access to housing and transportation are required, along with comfort in working with diverse populations.
These deadlines allow adequate time for our team to conduct interviews, complete required background screenings, and facilitate onboarding and orientation prior to each term’s start date. Because many of our programs serve vulnerable populations, thorough screening and preparation are essential to ensuring student readiness and client safety.
