Our program is also a great way to obtain the credits required for graduation from college.

About Living on Campus
​An important benefit of our internship program is the possibility of living on campus. Due to the sensitive nature of our work, this opportunity only applies to female interns. Living on-site provides our female interns access to a safe and comfortable living space. However, this benefit also entails specific rules to follow. Female interns living on campus will be requested to help with fire alarm duty and night rounds.
For male interns on the 6 month track that might need accommodation, Hope Center Indy will attempt to connect them with a host family within 15 miles of our campus. Interns living with a host family are responsible for their own transportation.
