Casa de Esperanza, a
non-profit in Houston, Texas, provides residential care
to children, birth through six, who are in crisis due to abuse, neglect, or the
effects of HIV. Care is provided in their neighborhood by Hands of Hope
interns. This internship is a great opportunity for students
who wish to complete a service internship (or gap year) before entering medical
or graduate school.
This gives interns the opportunity to earn hands on experience learning how
abuse, neglect, and the effects of HIV play a role in some of society’s
most vulnerable children. Interns will be working directly with therapists,
specialists, and social workers to meet the specific needs for each
individual child. Interns in the program gain
valuable experience that is relevant to a number of fields and future career
goals while simultaneously making a meaningful difference in the lives of a
vulnerable group of children.
