Information on Intern Aboard Program

Hello! I'm a prospective volunteer for the Intern Aboard program and was just curious if anyone could possible provide some information on what this program entails, how detailed the internship is so on so on. Any first hand experiences would be truly beneficial!

Also, some information on some of the best programs for internships would be helpful, I am looking into programs dealing with orphanages, with a focus on arts and crafts. Having just graduated with an undergraduate degree in Psychology, I'm anticipating a career in Art Therapy and a number of these programs seem beneficial, I'm just having problems choosing the right one!
Any input would help me out greatly.
Thanks so much!

-Emily.

I am the groups specialist at CCS and I have worked with a group and a couple individuals working in Art Therapy. The Art Therapy group that we recently had go with us went to Ayacucho, Peru and loved it. They are going on another program with us this year to Cape Town, South Africa. In Ayachucho, the group worked in a Women's Prison with the inmates and their children.

Having talked to quite a few people interested in Art Therapy, I have found that they fit quite well with almost any of our programs in most of our placements, either in a school, orphanage or a placement such as the Women's Prison. If you are looking for an internship opportunity, our Ayacucho site may be a perfect choice for you, but I really think that you would be able to fit into most of our programs.

If you have any other questions, really feel free to call into our office and ask us questions, we would be more than happy to help you find the right fit!

Best,
Cate; ▶ Reply to This
