EDVP offers internships in the following areas:

 


The Community Program

For domestic violence victims and their children who are not currently staying in one of our shelters. This includes women who are now or previously were in abusive relationships. Opportunities are available to serve clients individually, in groups, and on the crisis line (crisis intervention and ongoing case management).

My Sister's Home Emergency Shelter

For women and children facing serious and potentially lethal threats of physical violence from their abusers. Opportunities include individual, family, and group work with women and children.

My Friend's Place Transitional Shelter

For women who are dealing with the dual issues of chemical dependency and domestic violence. Opportunities include individual, family or group work with the residents, including women and children.

The internship also includes an intensive 50 hour training program which is offered three times a year - January, May and September. The training encompasses the dynamics of domestic violence, crisis intervention counseling, issues of oppression and its implications. Here is a typical Training Program Curriculum.

Time Commitment: Graduate Students: 16-20 hours/week
Undergraduate Students: 10-15 hours/week

Internships for undergraduates can be tailored to meet student interests.
