Things to consider before submitting application
Paid internships, work-study, and student employment are ONLY for current students. If you graduate in the Fall semester and want to continue working in the VPE program, you will be required to complete your role as a volunteer during the Spring semester.
If you are a past or current client of the PCA, we require you be one-year out from your last advocacy appointment before applying for a position in the VPE program (example: If your last appointment with a survivor advocate at the PCA was October 27, 2025, you would be eligible to apply for a VPE internship after October 27, 2026; applying for a 2027-2028 academic-year position).
