Non-Clinical Internships

Mozaic Center for Elder Abuse Prevention Internship Opportunities

Mozaic Center for Elder Abuse Prevention is a grant-funded program of Mozaic Senior Life that opened in September 2007 to assist victims and reduce the prevalence of elder abuse. The Center seeks unpaid interns to contribute to community outreach and education activities of the Center and with the objective of receiving experience, education, and mentorship towards professional goals.

Projects of interest will be developed jointly between the intern and Program Director. Interns will be guided to research and produce an outreach plan for a target population, and tailor educational materials and resources of the Center to fulfill the outlined plan. This is a great opportunity to learn about a growing segment of society and an expanding field, contributing to the well-being of older adults in our community, as well as a great opportunity for those interested in working in the non-profit sector.
