These individuals would serve as capacity builders to support the CIS mission. Specialized roles, depending on interests and skills, could include working with food packs, the CIS Kids’ Closet, the Mobile Health Clinic/Dental Van, or addressing food insecurity needs. Interns majoring in Interdisciplinary Health, Social Work, Family & Consumer Sciences and other related studies can incorporate these roles into their placement. |
