BARCC requires interns to commit 24 hours per week, with one evening per week.

Do you need any accommodations to work at BARCC?*

If so, please list any accommodations that may be helpful or necessary. (We are currently wheelchair accessible and have a TTY.)

What does rape mean to you? When you hear about rape, what is your understanding of how and why it happens and who it happens to? What do you think are some of the initial needs of the survivor?*

BARCC is a mission driven organization. Our mission is “to take an activist stance against sexual violence. We provide emergency and on-going services to adults and adolescents affected by sexual violence. We challenge attitudes and institutions perpetuating sexual violence through outreach, education, and advocacy.” How do you think you could support this mission?*

BARCC interns and volunteers are a diverse group. Our members vary in terms of class background, religious background, political outlook, race, and sexual orientation. Are there any skills or affiliations that you want to share that may contribute to or further diversify the agency?*

What skills would you bring to the internship (ex. language, computer, administrative etc.)?*

As a crisis center, BARCC requires a certain level of flexibility and tolerance for change. How comfortable are you with this? Please give an example.*

BARCC internships require the ability to work independently. How do you feel about this? Are you a self-starter? Are you someone who takes initiative? Please give an example.*

How do you handle conflict?*

What are your school supervision requirements? What are you looking for in a supervisor?*

How would you take care of yourself while doing this type of work? What supports do you have in your life?*
