Organization Description
SEARCH’s mission is to provide hope, create opportunity and transform lives. The
agency provides a wide range of services to assist persons who are homeless to exiting
homelessness.
Description of Internship
SEARCH’s programs are: street outreach, a drop-in center, permanent housing for
those who are disabled, employment services, adult literacy, GED preparation, and
early childhood development.
Students will become aware of the reasons people become homeless, how they remain
homeless, and what it takes to exit homelessness. They meet with SEARCH managers
to discuss our various programs. They observe activities on street outreach, in our
day shelter and in case management sessions with clients. Primarily they assist the
case managers by making phone calls, helping them transport clients to appointments,
go with the case manager on home visits, help the client with obtain clothing or access
the food pantry.
Criteria for Interns
We prefer age 18 or older. It’s important to have someone who is a self-starter
and highly motivated. We prefer someone who is able to write grammatically correct
sentences and paragraphs. It is also important to have someone who is reliable.
We prefer psychology or sociology students. It’s important to us that we can provide
valuable learning experiences to students. Our knowledge base and conversations as
an organization are more appropriate for those disciplines. We require a criminal
background check for someone who would like to be placed in our early childhood center.
