About The Position
Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is sponsoring a great program called the 'Urban Youth Collaborative'. This program offers students between the ages of 18 and 24 the opportunity to enrich the lives of both the students and the individuals receiving supports within the Wrentham Developmental Center. The goal of this program is to give young adults exposure into the field of Human Services, enabling them to strongly consider a career supporting people with developmental disabilities. The human services field has career opportunities as lawyers, accountants, program directors, residential staff, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and a wide range of other roles. The DDS Wrentham Developmental Center is seeking hard working and compassionate candidates to serve as interns in office administration role. Southeastern Residential Services is comprised of 50 Residential State Operated homes across the Southeast Region of Massachusetts for 175 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through building connections, friendships, reaching goals and executing personal choices for the people we support, each intern can help an individual cross activities and new experiences off their list. No matter the task, young adults within Urban Youth Collaborative Program are here to advocate for and follow through with the activities people want to engage in. Spanning across the Cape, Taunton and Braintree areas, interns in the Southeast have many opportunities for community engagement while providing support to individuals aged 22 and older. The program opens in the middle of May and runs to Labor Day Weekend, this Summer session is restricted to a maximum 90-day appointment. It will be necessary for participants to be available for the entire summer, and unfortunately no vacations will be granted. All participants must have a valid drivers' license.
