Consent Matters!!!!

CARE Internship Opportunity

 We are currently interviewing for Spring 2012 student interns

We offer 2 and 3 credit internships and independent studies. This fourteen-week, independent study course is designed to be a service-learning course. It is recommended if you are interested in studying issues related to women, preventing violence against women, or promoting healthy relationships. Through the process of independent readings, participation as a volunteer in CARE activities, and peer/instructor discussions, you will learn about dynamics affecting violence against women in general and specifically on college campuses, you will learn about and participate in strategies to prevent such violence, including education of peers through a variety of peer education formats. 

Students gain excellent experience in marketing an organization, developing a program and implementing it, working on a team, and learning more about social and emotional issues related to dating and sexual violence. Students working with CARE build a great resume and can receive college credit in the process.

CARE interns attend the weekly volunteer meetings and biweekly intern meetings to work on projects and programs to address increasing awareness and prevention of sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and harassment on campus. Interns read required books and complete a paper and/or project proposal at the end of the semester.

To apply, please contact Shelly Rutz Maxwell at rutzm@uwosh.edu to express your interest.  You will need to meet with Shelly to explore how to set up the internship and to set up an interview.  You will also need to submit your resume and a cover letter.
