CSADV also provides internships for human service related fields of study. Our interns have an interest in increasing their knowledge of domestic violence and sexual assault. When interning with our agency, participants will gain valuable job experience, develop new skills, and build a resume. Interns also make valuable personal and professional contacts within the service community. All interns receive the 30-hour training specific to working with victims and survivors of abuse. Interns provide both direct and indirect services. If you are interested in interviewing for an intern position, please contact our agency.
