Program Information

Interns will be placed at the Success Academy School Site in which they will have the opportunity to serve students by casemanaing, working one on one as well as co-facilitating groups. Interns will have the opportunity to utilize their assessment skills to help identify student needs as well as learn a variety of intervention techniques to support students in identifying and developing coping skills needed to continue being successful in school and community.
