How Internships Work
BraveBe offers on-site, non-paid internships for college students who need to complete a minimum of 250 practicum or internship hours. Virtual internships are not available.
To participate, the student’s academic program must confirm that BraveBe Child Advocacy Center will:
-
Complete an evaluation of the student’s performance, and
-
Verify the completion of 250 hours.
Interns are primarily assigned to two core areas—forensic interviewing and family advocacy—and typically divide their time between both. Throughout the internship, students also attend Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, trainings, and BraveBe events to gain a broad understanding of our collaborative response to child abuse.
Internship Availability Update:
Due to high interest and program capacity, BraveBe is not currently accepting interns. We look forward to welcoming new applicants when opportunities reopen in January 2027.
