Internships

We offer internships in more than ten different program areas. We prioritize working with students attending local universities with whom we have educational affiliation agreements.

Opportunities for Youth

At present, we do not offer volunteer opportunities for youth.

One-Time or Short-Term Opportunities

Because our volunteer opportunities require a longer-term commitment and some require intensive training, we cannot offer one-time or short-term volunteer jobs to individuals or groups.
