Visitation Program Intern
August - December 2019 • Santa Ana, CA
What I liked
The staff was extremely welcoming and I easily felt that I was part of their family. My internship provided me with tons of experience and my supervisor helped me with how to apply find jobs and my application to graduate school. The program is well organized and they seem to really care about the families and the employees. I felt like I was more than an intern to them which was nice.
What I wish was different
Nothing.
Advice
Take advantage of all the connections and resources that you have at the internship. The more you learn and connect the better the experience will be!

Kinship/ Adoption Intern
June - August 2019 • Santa Ana, CA
What I liked
I loved being able to serve in various roles in the office from working behind the scenes filing paperwork, to being on monitored visits. I learned so much about the foster care system and how working in it changes lives. Olive Crest's moto is "one life at a time" and I saw this played out each day.
