The great part about being an intern with C-U at Home is that there is a wide variety of experiences to be had! There are opportunities to be involved in helping the homeless population on both the micro AND macro levels. One day an intern may sit down with a client and talk about life experiences over a cup of coffee. The next day, they may be sitting in a meeting with other community agencies talking about new government policies regarding service delivery to the homeless. The next day might involve researching much-needed resources for a client. Every day is different, affording you a wide variety of knowledge and experience.
