INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Internship opportunities are limited in number and often highly competitive, but if you believe in the mission and vision of the PATCH Program there may just be a spot for you on our tiny team!! PATCH Interns are responsible for the growth and development of the PATCH program and play an important role in a variety of projects including: evaluations, data management, community assessments, social media and communications, and Teen Educator and Youth Advocate Support.
All internship positions are unpaid, but many of our interns are students at local colleges or universities and can receive college credit for the time spent with PATCH. Because we are a quick moving team, we rarely bring on short-term volunteers and do ask that all interns commit to working with PATCH for at least one semester.
When new positions open up, we'll post an up-to-date job description right here, so check back often! And, even if there isn't a position open, we always accept rolling applications and if something comes up that you would be a perfect fit for, we'll reach out at that point! You can apply here!

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
As you can imagine, PATCH Staff LOVE their job! Unfortunately, that means there is very little staff turnover and we rarely hire for new staff members. But, if we are looking for a new individual to join our team we'll be sure to share it here first!
COMMUNITY ADVISORY TEAMS
Wisconsin PATCH Sites are often looking for passionate individuals within the community to serve on their Community Advisory Teams (CAT). Each CAT consists of local leaders who support the mission, vision, and values of the PATCH Program and are willing to help support the PATCH Site Coordinator and guide implementation within their community (either Dane County or Milwaukee). CAT members are asked to attend in-person meetings and respond to e-mails and additional requests for support throughout the year. If you think you might like to join a CAT team and want to learn more send us an e-mail at patch@wiawh.org.
