Current Internship Offerings

Victim Services Internship:

(including internships for Human Services fields for academic credit)

Victim Services Interns learn about the different aspects of direct services to clients who have been affected by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking. Interns work closely with victim advocates on staff and will work directly with clients to assess needs, make referrals, and provide support. Each internship is different and there is no “typical day” as each individual client’s needs are what drive BRH services.

​

Administrative Professional Internship:

Administrative Professional Interns gain experience in a variety of areas based on agency activities and may include compiling committee packets, taking and producing meeting minutes and agendas, conducting training sessions, setting up meeting times, data entry, and event planning along with other possible opportunities as they arise.
