Child Advocacy Clinic Placements

Through the Child Advocacy Clinic, a student may work part-time at one of the organizations listed below.  Through our winter-spring clinical option, students spend an additional winter semester working full-time.   Please be aware, when deciding between the winter-spring and spring options that due to a variety of factors that affect the matching process, CAP may prioritize a winter-spring student over a spring student for a particular placement. Thus if you are interested in being at a particular agency, you may need to demonstrate a greater commitment by enrolling in the winter-spring clinic. If you have any questions about which option is right for you, please contact Crisanne ([email protected]).
