Organization Description:
Montrose Grace Place serves youth and young adults 13-24 who are homeless or housing
insecure with essential needs, mentorship, connections to resources, and a safe space
to exist. Our evening drop-in center "Youth Night" operates three nights a week, providing
a hot, home-cooked, family style meal, bus passes, showers and laundry, light case
management, stabalizing services, and connections with healthy adult mentors who volunteer
with us. Our Diversion program pairs intensive case management and financial supports
to help a youth alleviate their current housing crisis and work on long-term stability.
Youth Voices Empowered is our youth-led advocacy collective where young people with
systems experiences (homelessness, incarceration, CPS) build leadership development
skills and healing-centered practices.
Description of Internship/Common Responsibilities:
Interns will attend "Youth Night" at least once per week (Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday
at 5pm), shadow case managers, and help plan activities for our Community Garden and
cycling programs.
In person/Remote possibility:
Mostly in-person Criteria for Interns: Good de-escalation skills, works well under
pressure, able to work on your own. Also must consent to a background check (we provide).
