I’m back home for the holidays, and I hope most of you now are too. It’s wonderful to always have a safe place to go back to, but not everyone is so lucky. Victims of crime and abuse often don’t have anywhere to go. They’re often left with the choice of living in terror in a place that is familiar yet unsafe, or facing total uncertainty. Safe Horizon is a non-profit organization whose mission “is to provide support, prevent violence, and promote justice for victims of crime and abuse, their families, and communities.” They run 80 programs which “are located throughout the five boroughs of New York City in court houses, police precincts, schools, shelters, and community offices.” They may not be able to provide a safe place to go for all 350,000 victims whom they work with each year, but they find a way to support these people until they can find their way to a safe horizon.
From addressing violence to providing support to victims of 9/11 to aiding victims of human trafficking, Safe Horizon is always there for the people of New York. They have put together an amazing array of programs that make the lives of victims better. If you’ve always been the type to lend a helping hand and you’re comfortable around people who have been victimized by crime or abuse, then Safe Horizon might be the perfect place for you to intern. They have a couple of internship openings which include Administrative Intern, Corporate Partnerships and Marketing Intern. The application instructions vary depending on which internship you’re applying for, so make sure to pay attention to the specific internship descriptions. These internships appear to be unpaid, and they’re located across New York City.
