Now Accepting Placement Applications for the 2012 Emory Summer Child Advocacy Program
We have begun planning for the 2012 Emory Summer Child Advocacy Program, and if your work involves interacting with the child welfare system, we invite you and your organization to apply to supervise a student intern.
Students who are accepted into the program will be paid through a grant that is administered by the Barton Child Law & Policy Center at Emory Law School. The grant is focused on children who are in the child welfare system, so internships need to focus on this population to qualify. The deadline for student applications will be in early December, with interviews between selected students and supervisors to occur in early to mid-January 2012. If you are interested in more information or in applying to host and intern, please email Kirsten Widner.
