AWC Internship Opportunities

Invest yourself in the lives of others.

An internship at Alpha Women’s Center of Grand Rapids is a structured learning experience in a work setting that gives a student the opportunity to learn about a career interest and gain valuable knowledge and experience in a particular field. In an internship, you work just like an employee but your purpose is to receive mentorship, supervision, and training.
