CRJW Internship Program
Interns play a vital role in the work we do at the Center for Restorative Justice Works (CRJW). Part of a collaborative effort, interns help bring hope and healing to communities impacted by the criminal justice system.
The Center for Restorative Justice Works partners with a number of colleges and universities within and outside of California. Opportunities are offered to students across various academic programs such as psychology, criminal justice, social work, art design and more for a chance to gain professional skills and experience. Priority placement will be given to students who need to fulfill required fieldwork or service learning hours requirements during the Fall, Summer and Spring term. If you would still like to help but do not have any required hours to fulfill, please consider applying for a VOLUNTEER POSITION.
Qualifications
- Must be 18 + years of age
- Must attend an accredited college/university
- Must be enrolled in a program that requires fieldwork or service-learning hours to be completed. Priority placement will be given to individuals who fulfill this requirement.
