Student involvement with the MMFC

Arts Internship

The Arts Internship Program offers unpaid and paid internship opportunities for undergraduate students at UNB. This community-based learning internship adds valuable work experience to an Arts degree. Students develop practical skills that relate to their academic studies. Internships generally consist of completing weekly hands-on work activities and a major project related to the ongoing work of the organization or partner hosting the student.

If you are interested in an unpaid internship with the MMFC or a paid internship with an organization/agency that provides family violence services, you can apply to the internship program.

Work-Study

The MMFC often receives funding to employ a student in a Work-Study position for 10-hours per week in the fall and/or winter semesters.

Work-Study is a subsidized work program at UNB designed to assist financially needy students with the high costs associated with post-secondary studies. The program also provides students with an opportunity to gain valuable skills/experience in an on-campus, part-time employment situation. You can find more information and apply to the program.

Social Work Social Action Placement

MMFC staff have supervised Social Work students from St. Thomas University for their social action placement. A placement with the MMFC provides students with the opportunity to build their knowledge of family violence, expand their skills in conducting collaborative research, develop resources to heighten awareness of family violence and increase capacity in community and government networking for social action.

Applied Research

Undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students play an important role in the research of the MMFC - the results of which are applied to the needs of service providers and policy makers. See our research themes for information on potential faculty supervisors in the Atlantic region.
