Additional Resources

Local Sites

The OSU Human Development and Family Sciences Internship program maintains a list of local and Oregon sites that are popular internship sites for students.

The Provider Resource Network for Benton County is a 27 page list of agencies providing virtually every type of human service you can imagine - hospice care, hotlines, children's programs, detention centers, substance abuse treatment, access to food and shelter, family respite, and so on.

Volunteer Information Services for Linn and Benton Counties provides a list of volunteer opportunities by type of work and location. LBvision: Volunteer Information Services for Linn and Benton Counties.

Non-local Sites

If you're looking for an internship in a particular city, one option is to start with a list of non-profit organizations. Since many non-profits work with the United Way, using the national site to link to the site for the region in which you want to work is a good first step. The national United Way website has links to all local United Way websites. Another good way to identify non-profit, social service agencies in a particular part of the country is to check out the Americorps website.
