Past Internships
Groups organized a variety of events, building great camaraderie with one another and the population they serve. Specifically, CRC interns created an Earth Day clean-up event at Riverside Park and a Pool League to provide fellowship to the recovery population. Students from Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, Community Health Education, Criminal Justice, and Servant Leadership programs are encouraged to apply.
We’ve provided on-site work experience for students from UW-La Crosse, Viterbo University, Western Technical College, and Winona State University.
