Interns and Volunteers

The Stroke and Disability Learning Center welcomes student interns and volunteers interested in learning about disability education, how to work with seniors and how to assist people living with functional loss and chronic health challenges.

Students planning careers in nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, human services, medical assisting and other occupations may come to learn and participate weekly in activities in the Center.
