This internship is designed for students who wish to gain valuable insights into research and program evaluation within a non-profit context. Comprehensive training will be provided, and interns will receive guidance from team members, including a licensed clinical psychologist. A commitment of at least 6 hours per week is expected, with opportunities for additional hours. Internship durations can be arranged for one or more semesters.
