This is great for interns with a background in social work! This psychiatric clinic works with adults who are mostly male. The clinic has 20 staff members and roughly 35 patients. The patients are typically suffering from autism, schizophrenia, depression and addiction. This clinic really needs all the help it can get. Volunteers with a professional psychology, medical or social work background can help the patients in their specific fields. An experienced nurse will be guiding you throughout your time at the clinic.

United Planet is currently searching for interns to assist with the implementation of the business plan for Lavanderia Planeta Unido, a laundromat including the budget and marketing plan of the project. Work also includes training the women and shelter staff on operations and planning. No specific professional requirements are necessary. Basic to intermediate Spanish is an asset.
