*CEIP Internship – This is a one-semester program, offered in the summer, fall, and spring. Students must be 16 years old, a junior or senior, and be able to provide their own transportation.
The internship coordinator works with parents and the student to find an appropriate placement in the community. Students must intern 54 hours during the semester, and attend class once a week. Students make their own schedule with the mentor to meet the 54-hour requirement.
