    Each summer, the NYC Elder Abuse Center and The Legacy Project seek ambitious, passionate students for the Risk and Resiliency Internship Project (RRIP). The ideal internship candidate will be a rising sophomore, junior or senior during the summer 2017; has taken course work in gerontology; and seeks direct experience in the field. Additional information about the different elements of the internship and reflections from RRIP alumni can be found here.

    Based in New York City, RRIP interns work 21 hours/week for 7 weeks. (There are a number of required meetings, but students largely build their own weekly schedule, flexible to their needs.) Students will receive a $2,205 stipend for their participation. Then, after the summer, the interns are expected to integrate what they have learned back on campus. Students receive an additional $250 stipend for this work.

    Interested students should complete the application online (below) – or – submit the application information (PDF) via email, along with a resume, to Kasey Brown at [email protected] by 5:00pm on March 31, 2017. (Acceptances determined on a rolling admissions basis, so apply early.)
