Domestic violence and battery pose serious threats to women. Unfortunately, abusive situations remain isolated too often within the domestic sphere. The magnitude of this problem remains largely beyond the public eye, not receiving the attention it warrants. You can help address this crucial issue by working at a shelter or organization providing assistance to vulnerable women and children.

Work 30 hours per week completing tasks and projects assigned according to your experience, skills, and interests. If you wish to commit to a longer internship duration, you’ll be given more responsibilities. Typical duties include working on the hotline, coordinating activities for children, acting as an assistant to a shelter worker or advocate, and interacting with clients. You will undergo comprehensive training to gain insight into the shelter’s work and clientele.
