Haley House is seeking three (3) interns for summer 2013. Internships are unpaid though room and board are provided. Priority will be given to applicants who have the potential to extend their summer internship into a longer-term commitment (1-year minimum) to Haley House’s Live In Community, a group of residential volunteers who co-manage Haley House’s direct services.

Give.
For the past 45 years, Haley House has been run primarily by volunteers. This helps us keep our operation costs as lean as possible, while staying true to our mission of fostering relationships and building community through nourishment. We hope all our volunteers enjoy their service, but also the experience as a whole.

Members spend their days engaging with guests and challenging attitudes that perpetuate suffering. It's a way of life that celebrates the value of community by showing what can be accomplished through sharing resources and valuing relationships.
