Tasks will include research on ongoing and new cases, identifying and contacting potential narrators, assisting with interview preparation, managing post-interview documents, writing copy for website, and managing narrator database and outreach.
  • Community Outreach track: Interns will contribute to ongoing efforts to develop community programs for our Conversations Project and assist with administrative and programmatic tasks in this area.

All interns will also assist with administrative tasks, social media and event planning.
TAVP also seeks new volunteers on an ongoing basis. Volunteers may work remotely or in the office. Please write to volunteer@texasafterviolence.org if you are interested in volunteering.
