Volunteers and Interns

Volunteers

Our volunteers are passionate, inspired and want to make a difference in the fight against Substance Abuse. In our mission to support the families of our clients and provide quality experiences for our volunteers we offer a variety of opportunities for our volunteers to lend us a helping hand with a variety of administrative functions; community activities and special events.

Weekday Opportunities: Assist in various administrative functions in our main office. Administrative opportunities are available 9:00 - 5:00 Monday thru Friday. If you’d like to volunteer in our office, please email us at etorres@elrinconclinic.org.

Weekend Opportunities: Special events (registration check-in, set up, hospitality). The opportunities are based on scheduled events that occur through the year. If you are interested in adding your name to our list of volunteers for special events please contact us at jdavis@elrinconclinic.org.

Interns

We offer internships to enrolled college students of any age who are employable in the United States. The Internship positions offered are not based on or influenced by a candidate’s gender, race, color, age, religion, disability, national origin, citizenship, or other classification protected by law.

Our agency reports to Federal, State, County and City entities and as a result we are bound by their regulations. As a result any student wishing to complete an internship with us must:

• Have completed all substance abuse coursework according to the standards listed by IODAPCA;
• Be prepared to commit to 300 hours as an intern;
• Be willing to submit to and pass a drug test;
• Pass a CANTS review for the Department of Children and Families.
