Interns at A Safe Place gain meaningful, hands-on experience in a comprehensive domestic violence and human trafficking agency. Opportunities are designed to provide exposure to both direct service and program support roles, depending on education level, experience, and placement needs.
Direct Client Work
Interns may have the opportunity to engage in supervised direct service with survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. This can include:

All direct client interaction is closely supervised by trained staff to ensure safety, confidentiality, and best practices in trauma-informed care.

Interns may also support the organization through non-client-facing work that strengthens overall service delivery. This can include:
- Administrative support for programs and departments
