****** CALLING ALL FAMILY STUDIES UNDERGRADS ******
The psychology department has established a community service agency that provides undergraduate life skills training (and mentoring) to school-aged youth. The majority of these youth are from underserved communities in Tucson and are struggling with a variety of emotional and behavior problems. We are currently accepting applications for Fall semester. As a LifeSTEP (Life Skills Training and Enhancement Program) intern, you would be meeting with your assigned youth about once a week for about 4 hours each time. Activities might include going to the movies, getting an ice cream, going bowling or spending time at a park, etc (you would be reimbursed for your expenses including gas). You would receive 3 units of internship credit, and you would have the opportunity to receive training in this area. There is also the possibility of obtaining research-related experience if that is helpful. If you are interested (and are at least 18 years old), please complete the attached application & email it back to julief@email.arizona.edu. We are especially in need of male interns (due to the large number of older boys in desperate need of a positive role model), but we are also in need of many female interns as well!
