Intern with Pause!
Did you know that 7 years ago Pause started with one part-time staff and one intern? Over the years, Pause has shifted, grown, and expanded to meet the needs of families. One constant has been the continuous support from our student intern team!
What does it mean to be a Pause Intern?
Pause internships give students a taste of how a nonprofit gets creative about serving families with extra needs. This is a learning experience and will include: access to the newest trauma responsive training and resilience building interaction strategies, and hands on learning experience that provide opportunities for the practical application of contemporary compassion care.

What do past interns say about their experience as a Pause intern?
“Being an intern with Pause was definitely a highlight of my college career. From gaining first-hand experience in the non-profit sector to learning how to connect people to local services and actually making an impact on so many families, Pause was much more than just a degree requirement or resume booster. It was so inspiring working with a team of people dedicated to changing lives for the better. Not only did I grow academically and professionally during my semester with Pause, I also developed so many strengths that I know will help me in all aspects of life.”
— Evelyn, Former Pause Intern
