Residential Community Health Internship - This unique 1-12 month residential internship opportunity (available in fall, winter, spring, and summer) is an immersive dive into many aspects of Horseshoe Farm’s nationally renowned year-long Community Health Gap Year Fellowship. The volunteer service and learning internship is intended to give students hands on experience with Horseshoe Farm’s relationship oriented approach to community health and improving the health and quality of life of our vulnerable neighbors. Interns will have opportunity to:

• Participate in Horseshoe Farm’s innovative 6 pillar approach to community health.

• Provide direct volunteer service to children, adults living with mental illness, seniors, and other vulnerable individuals.

• Learn about healthcare, education, and a wide range of other efforts that contribute to local communities and community health.

• Live, learn, and build deep relationships with other outstanding Interns and Fellows.

• Participate as part of a team dedicated to volunteer service and community health.

• Receive ongoing mentorship and teaching and participate in weekly reading and discussion seminars at Horseshoe Farm.

• Become a contributing member of and learn from one of our three wonderful local partner communities (In Alabama - Greensboro and Perry County, and in California - Pomona).

This selective residential internship is open to top undergraduate, masters, and health professions students as well as to students between programs or other opportunities. The internship can be pursued as a stand alone experience or as part of a community health elective rotation, a “study away” program, a capstone or thesis program, a volunteer for credit program, a “Jan Term” or Summer Internship program, an experiential practicum, or another path or program that exists or that you create at your college/university. For students taking online courses or pursuing online degree programs (undergraduate or masters), the internship provides a valuable hands-on learning opportunity within a community of other Interns and Fellows to enhance and complement your online learning. The program can be designed as a 1 month to 12 month experience and is available in fall, winter, spring, or summer at our Greensboro, Perry County, and Pomona Sites. Comfortable shared housing is provided to accepted interns. Please see bottom of this page for contact information.

**To try to make the internship available and accessible to motivated prospective students, the internship can be adapted to allow time for part time employment or paid work. Please discuss this with our team ahead of time during your interview process to try to find arrangements that will set you up for success with your participation in the internship.

Non-Residential Volunteer Opportunities - Horseshoe Farm also offers non-residential volunteer opportunities for students who attend colleges/universities within driving distance of our three sites. Students should pick a regular volunteer time (for example, 1-4pm every Wednesday). During this time they will volunteer along side Fellows in Horseshoe Farm’s community health programs (volunteering in schools, community centers, nursing homes, and health partners programs). Student volunteers must make attending their weekly volunteer time(s) a priority and must make a minimum commitment of one academic term (spring, summer, fall, winter). Non-residential volunteer opportunities are available in Greensboro, Perry County, and Pomona. Please see bottom of this page for contact information.

Individual/Group Visits and Alternative Spring Breaks - Horseshoe Farm hosts alternative spring breaks and day visits by individual or groups of students who want to learn more about Horseshoe Farm and our work. Please email ahead of time to arrange a visit for you or your group.
