Development Unit At — Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP)
The Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to serving Asian Pacific Islanders and other under-served communities with substance abuse services throughout Los Angeles County. Programs and services are provided to all individuals regardless of race or ethnicity.
Since 1972, AADAP began with the mission to improve community health through providing prevention education, treating substance abuse, and facilitating economic development to increase job skills and employment opportunities.
Programs have expanded to include HIV/AIDS outreach, Drug Court Services for the Inglewood Municipal Courts, tobacco education, and a for-profit business venture, MTC Construction. Much has changed since those early days, but one thing that remains is AADAP’s motto and philosophy: “People Need People.”
Students will have the chance to intern with a non-profit organization. Outcomes include administrative roles, responsibilities, and functions to improve community health. There are several programs, education modalities, and learning opportunities.
Training will be on the job.
No additional risk specific to this opportunity. This is an administrative internship.
