About The Position

The Cannabis, Commercial Tobacco, and Vaping Prevention (CCTV) unit is seeking two Graduate Interns (Intern IIIs) to develop a resource library of youth curriculum, frameworks, campaigns, and other resources. These resources will focus on increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors related to youth substance use. The interns will assess current CCTV grantee resources, conduct a landscape analysis of potential resources, and summarize their components and merits.
