I didn’t come in thinking that this would become a permanent position for me, but after working with amazing people, I couldn’t see myself moving on from such a fulfilling and exciting job. So, when the opportunity came about, I could not pass it up. I want to thank everyone for making this such a great place to work and for welcoming me with open arms and smiles. It is a pleasure to officially be a part of CSSMV!
Student Internships
Opportunities are available for students to gain valuable education and experience in several of our programs, including (but not limited to) the Choice Food Pantry, Family Stabilization, Refugee Resettlement, and Erma’s House Family Visitation Center. The majority of our internships are unpaid but meet the criteria for school credit. If you are not planning to intern for credit, you may still be able to gain experience in these same roles as a volunteer, instead of as a formal intern. More information about internship opportunities is available in our You Can Help section.
Request a Speaker
/in About Us /by Andrea SkrlacRequest a Speaker
Catholic Social Services is always looking for opportunities to get out into the community to share information about our programs, the social challenges we’re combating, and ways that individuals, parishes, businesses, and other groups can get involved.
If you’d like us to send someone to speak to your group, we do ask that you give us plenty of lead time—preferably a month or more—so we can make sure an appropriate speaker is available.
For more information, please contact Marketing & Communications Manager Andrea Skrlac at skrlaca@cssmv.org.
