The Centers is a historic, comprehensive health and human services non-profit organization in Greater Cleveland that was created through the merger of five separate agencies and operates across multiple locations in Cuyahoga County, delivering several core services:

• Head Start Early Learning & Family Support: Provides early childhood education and family assistance programs for children from birth to age five
• Workforce Services: Offers job training, placement, and retention assistance to help local community members secure sustainable employment.
• Youth Residential Services (Hope Campus): Provides trauma-informed care particularly for multi-system youth navigating behavioral health, developmental disability, juvenile justice, and child welfare systems.

Students who are interested in paid positions while working on their bachelor’s degree or shortly after graduation can seek meaningful work with the Centers, including case management positions (Behavioral Health Specialist I or II):

While internship opportunities are sometimes available for undergraduate psychology students, this will depend on the time of year and the student’s interest. See the jobs listing page to find these opportunities and make sure that the internship is for undergraduate and not those completing a graduate degree:
