Seeking Graduate Interns to Work With Us This Summer (2014)
Prevention Institute is now accepting applications for
Graduate Interns for the summer of 2014. We're looking for graduate
students who are committed to improving health and safety and reducing
inequities through a focus on prevention. You’ll have a chance to grow your
skills by working with our organizational teams to address health and
social issues using a prevention approach, including violence prevention,
injury prevention, traffic safety, health reform implementation and healthy
food and physical activity promotion.
Prevention Institute's internship program is for continuing
graduate students (masters or doctoral) in public health, social work,
public policy, urban planning, and related fields. Internships are paid and
we ask students to commit to working 40 hours per week for 10-12 weeks. Our
internship provides students with the opportunity to:
- Apply what they are
learning in graduate school by delving deep into a project or set of
projects
- Learn about
Prevention Institute, our unique approach and how the practice of
primary prevention is taking hold across the country. Applications
are due February 16th.
To learn more, including how to apply, please visit

interested candidates and organizations or sharing with relevant online
