Take on more responsibility as you get more comfortable.
Work out a flexible schedule that fits your needs.
Get a variety of experiences by working in one or more of our departments:
  Independent Living – teach clients daily living skills
  Supported Employment – provide job coaching at client’s employment sites!
  Day Program – serve clients during the week while they work

Or, create your own custom internship! Help run events and programs, put your fundraising abilities to good use. Know how to write a grant?
