Youth Program InternAt — Community Action Partnership of Orange County

Located at three Family Resource Centers in Orange County, CA, CAP OC's youth programs aim to serve students in low socioeconomic communities by assisting them with their academic goals, improve their socioemotional capacities, as well as get them involved in their local community through civic engagement. We serves ages 5-18 in Anaheim, Orange, and Santa Ana.

The Youth Program Intern will be responsible for assisting in curriculum development, program planning, event planning, and running our afterschool program. The intern will also be working closely with a group to teens to mentor them. This internship is anywhere from 15 hours up to 25 (depending on the interns' capacity).
