Internships

This is an unique opportunity for students seeking experience in a non-clinical psychosocial self-recovery treatment model.  The Clubhouse Model is highly successful, evidence-based, and built on the premise of intrinsic motivation theory.  We only offer non-paid internships and understand that students seeking internships for college credits must abide an agenda to satisfy academic requirements.  We offer interns an opportunity to work with our Members one-on-one to accomplish daily operational tasks such as cooking meals, managing the dining room area, picture-taking, videography, media projects, media posts, graphic design, producing a newsletter, promoting health and wellness, daily wellness walks through the neighborhood, organizing social activities and fundraising, as well as over-seeing basic financial record keeping activities.  Interns can also assist in client job development (filling out applications, guidance in writing resumes, conducting mock interviews, etc.), job placement (working side-by-side members at their place of employment in the community), and the development of Member-directed goal setting.  As opportunity permits, an intern might assist in advocacy/case management issues, such as monitoring entitlements and benefits.

Here are some personality attributes useful for this Internship

• Out-going: Able to reach-out and ask Members to assist in projects or tasks
• Self motivated: Limited supervision to complete tasks when given the objective
• Patient: Can acknowledge that working side-by-side can take twice as long to do
• Flexible: Can “go with the flow” and does not need to follow a strict planned day
• Team Player: Can go that extra mile, put on a smile, and just help if you can
• Sense of Humor: You know what they say about all work and no play
