Student Opportunities

If you’re a student from a community college or university considering a career in social work or social services, a placement at Optimism Place can give you valuable and rewarding hands-on experience.

• Front-line Crisis Services
• Children’s Services
• Legal Advocacy
• Healthy Relationships Program
• Transition Program
