This Summer 2021, they are offering a paid Data and Program internship. It would consist of around 10-12 hours per week from June-September. The internship position plays a key role in helping us collect, analyze, and report annual data from each of their member clinics, culminating in their Annual Report in the Fall.

helping them share the impact their clinics are making in the community. Undergraduate and Graduate students, Non-traditional students, people who are looking for or have some non-profit experience, grant-writing experience, or data collection and analysis are encouraged to apply.

To apply, send your resume/CV and a brief cover letter by April 3, 2021, to CCHC’s staff at personnel@coalition-clinics.org for consideration.
