• Food & Clothing Assistance – Assisting in the food pantry and clothing closet while learning how resources are distributed.

• Client Services – Gaining experience in case management, intake processes, and support services.

• Marketing & Community Outreach – Discussions about social media, newsletters, and awareness campaigns.

• Hands-on Service – Working directly with clients, stocking shelves, sorting donations, and participating in SCCM programs.​

We understand that interns have deadlines, school, and work commitments, so we work with their schedules to accommodate a manageable workload. However, we encourage interns to complete their hours as close together as possible for a more immersive experience.

​

• Work Hours:

  • Most hours will be completed between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise discussed.

​

This flexible approach allows interns to gain valuable experience while balancing their responsibilities.
