Each intern will participate in an interview process to assess their "fit" to work with our non-profit. We expect that
they have researched our organization and feel that they can bring something to it as well as gaining experience.
The intern should be flexible, willing to adapt to the needs of the communities that we serve. We require that they
have the initiative to work within the mission of our organization, that they come with a good attitude and desire to
serve the community. We ask that they work well in a team setting as well ad independently.
X
We ask that all interns following our health protocol, based on the CDC guidelines.
Provide a comprehensive list of health education internship duties, which will be assigned to your HEB senior
intern. Please indicate with NCHEC Responsibility/Responsibilities align with each duty.
As an organization that serves the needs of vulnerable communities, primarily the Spanish-
speaking immigrant community and women living with HIV, each intern will work closely
with the RWHP staff to develop a program that will offer them the opportunity to meet their
required NCHEC responsibilities. The needs of the communities that we serve are ever-changing and we
might be developing various types of health education materials /training materials that would enhance our
outreach including brochures, videos, fotonovelas, magagazines and social media posts. We believe that in
order for the intern to have a successful internship, they need to be involved in all aspects of the work the the
RWHP performs, but also to have a specific project that they can create, develop and complete during their
semester that will provide them with hands-on experience. Interns are considered part of the RWHP team and
their input is valued.
List any important information about your agency.
I just want to reiterate again, that when we bring an intern into our agency, we want them to
be part of our team, to be exposed to all of the facets of the organization and to be an
integral part of the work that we do.
Ex: Plan and implement health promotion programs. (Responsibilities I, II, and III)
