We offer internship opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students at colleges and universities in Greater Lowell, Greater Lawrence, and Greater Boston. Interns come from a variety of programs, including Social Work, Community Health Education, Community Psychology and Public Health. Interns work from 10-32 hours per week, depending on their scheduling and school programming needs/requirements.

Opportunities for Learning and Growth as a Professional

Opportunities for growth are mutually identified by the Internship Program Manager/Supervisor and the intern. Such experiences include:

• Participation in community/network meetings;

• Assistance in needs assessment, data analysis, strategic planning, and evaluation;
• Development of public relations and resources;
• Public health and community health research; and
• Research on policy/legislative issues.

We are committed to matching skills development trainings and in-services in:
