Interns and Partner Agencies

Our partner agencies provided internships that blended hands-on experience with leadership exposure. Partner agencies created interaction between interns and professional staff, management, and clients. When possible, specific projects were completed by the interns during the placement. Most importantly, partner agencies provided a clear agreement with interns on: (1) their goals for their placement, (2) agency expectations, and (3) how and when interns would be evaluated.
