Interns must demonstrate motivation to be part of the therapeutic learning environment.  Interns must be currently working towards a bachelor’s degree, and a faculty contact must be identified at his/her college or university.  Only students at the junior and senior level will be considered.  This is a volunteer position therefore no benefits or compensation are offered.
