Program Information

General Description of what students will be doing at this Site: Students will work with staff and guests in a supportive role for many of the services we provide at our Center.

Key Responsibilities: We are looking for students who would be comfortable greeting and interacting with guests. On-site activities may include assisting at the front desk or back desk, greeting guests, signing up guests for services at the center, data entry, serving meals, and assisting with activities/services.

Desired Intern Characteristics: Students with compassion for Homeless Women and a big heart.

Special Considerations: Our guests may be dealing with addiction, violence and mental health issues.

Interprofessional opportunities available for the student: We work in concert with a myriad of County Agencies and other non-profit service providers. Students will have the opportunity to network and navigate the spectrum of services available to homeless women in Monterey County.

The Center is cleaned regularly, especially in high traffic areas. Currently all onsite must wear masks in congregate areas.
