Program Information

Encompass Community Services is seeking a passionate, self-motivated intern who feels deeply called to participate in community support services for the most underserved populations in our local society.

The intern will support a collaborative community mental health support program for single-occupancy and family cottages in south Santa Cruz County. The tenants are low-income, formerly chronically homeless adults and families with mental health disabilities. Our program goals are to reduce housing loss and the use of emergency psychiatric services, which we achieve by providing weekly check-ins with tenants to help meet any support needs as they arise.

To be considered for this internship opportunity, please send your resume and cover letter to internship@encompasscs.org
