CitySquare Paris is seeking two interns for the fall 2022 semester. The positions are paid internship and have an educational stipend at the successful conclusion of the semester.
“This is a perfect opportunity for a college student, recently retired persons who still wish to remain active, “ said Laura Woodroof, Program Director at CitySquare.
The interns, who must be 17 or older, work 32 hours a week, only Monday-Friday, and Woodroof noted they will work with interns to develop a ‘win-win’ schedule to serve the neighbors of Paris, Lamar County and the surrounding area. Students majoring in sociology, social work, public health, psychology, pre-med or nursing areas will find this beneficial in their career path.
The interns work with the homeless populations, those living at or in poverty as well as individuals in need of a hand up, not a handout. Case management is available to every neighbor served.
In addition, CitySquare, in cooperation with the Paris ISD, is an afternoon Teen Center for ages 13-18, from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. Each student is provided a snack and an evening meal and those with food insecurities are provide additional servings as needed.
