Our Residential Support Staff Interns work front-line shifts in our Main Shelter alongside our permanent employees, during which they learn the internal operations of an emergency shelter, including specific skills, such as: drug/alcohol testing, safety checks and contraband searches, de-escalation and crisis prevention techniques, medication monitoring, volunteer engagement, emergency response procedures, conflict resolution, child welfare interventions, and more. To that end, our paid internship program offers college students the unique experience of working for a robust nonprofit organization and gaining hands on experience with a multitude of subpopulations while receiving ample support and guidance from a team of some of the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the industry.
