THE INTERNSHIP & VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE
|
The I.V. Experience is a program that gives college undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals quality, real world experience as they become deeply involved in programs and services offered at the Cambodian Association. Participants will create an individually customized work plan with different goals and responsibilities. Whether you are looking to volunteer or commit to an internship, we will develop an individualized experience that benefits you while giving you the chance to directly make an impact in the community.
To ensure the quality of the program, participants and the Cambodian Association will complete a mutual assessment before volunteers or interns are accepted into the program. The assessment helps focus the participant’s strengths and interests so that his or her skills are best utilized; we hope to reshape this experience so it benefits the participant to the highest level. The IV Experience is customizable based on the assessment. Participants must complete time-frame(s) of service registered to receive proper recognition for their services. Once the participant completes the IV Experience, we will help the individual with placing their work experience on their resume, provide references for future endeavors, and provide letters of recommendations based on the quality of work. We have many departments from which we offer various services and programs, thus participants have a wide range of opportunities to choose from.
