Intern

“This internship saved my life. I had first started at another organization, and it was the worst job experience of my life. A friend, who was then an intern with Domestic Violence Resource Center told me about an open spot with the agency, and I applied. It’s been the best experience in my entire life! The supervision is amazing, getting client hours is easy, work schedule is flexible, and it’s a very pleasant environment to work in. Anyone who can get their internship here is lucky, and in my case it also led to a full time job.”

-- Chalaina Dietz, former intern, now counselor with Children’s Intervention Program
