Intern

BARCC offers both summer and academic year internships for both undergraduate and graduate students. In general, internships require working eight to 25 hours a week, depending on school requirements. Our interns work alongside BARCC staff in all programs.

Unless otherwise noted, all internships require completion of BARCC's 40-hour rape crisis counselor training. Attendance at all sessions is mandatory and must be completed before an intern can begin working. Academic year interns complete training in late August; summer interns train in spring.
