The agency provides opportunities for students enrolled in a high school or college level class to gain real life experience in their field of study. An internship provides students with opportunities to apply what they are learning in their course work with real world situations. It offers the chance to work in a community agency under the supervision of qualified agency staff who will train and evaluate the students. The agency does its best to incorporate theory and practice in such a way that academic and personal growth will be enhanced. Internships are volunteer positions and students are not paid for their work.
