Internships at CADA

"I think CADA works extremely hard to make sure their volunteers and interns feel valued within the program. I always felt accepted and looked at like I was a part of the staff. I was very happy with my experience at CADA." – CADA Intern

Application Process

Prospective interns should review our available internship opportunities and decide which position fits their interests, skills, and career goals. Candidates should download and fill out the internship application and submit this, along with a resume and cover letter to CADA’s volunteer and internship coordinator, Holly.

Position availability is limited, so candidates should identify their top three choices for internship positions.

 

Once your application is received, we will review your materials and set up an interview if there is a possible match. The application process can take anywhere between 2 – 4 weeks. Prospective interns should begin the application process at least one semester prior to the anticipated internship placement.

All intern candidates must complete a Minnesota Department of Human Services background check.

 

All interns will also go through an internship orientation and on-the-job training with their site supervisors.
