MSU Safe Place interns have the opportunity to engage with each service area available. Interns are asked to take on tasks from each service area in order to learn about multiple different ways professionals show up in this work. During an intern's time at Safe Place, they may have to complete additional training in order to provide a variety of services.
MSU Safe Place intern applications are now closed. For more information contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Lara Hayden at haydenl8@msu.edu.
