The Green River College Center for Transformational Wellness and Benefits Hub is a one stop shop for student support services. There are three main focus areas of the center, Violence Prevention and Support, Gators Thrive, and Benefits Hub.

Any student placed in the Center for Transformational Wellness and Benefits Hub will be a part of the team that provides coverage of a drop-in space for students to access support. Practicum students will engage with any member of the college community who drops into the space, will provide information and referrals for college and community resources, engage in an intake procedure for students who would like that level of support, and provide emotional support. The Basic Needs Intern will work closely with the Community Resource Coordinator to provide on-going case management support to students.

The Basic Needs Intern will working with different departments across campus to provide wrap around support for students experiencing basic needs insecurity including Student Housing, WorkForce Education, TRiO, etc. They will develop and implement programming to increase awareness of resources, and also provide outreach representing the center at campus events, as well as in the larger community.

Based on the student's level of previous experience, activities may include coordinating with college departments and community resources to develop and maintain referral processes, lead committee meetings, participate in writing/reporting for the grants that fund the center, as well as attending virtual or in-person conferences and lobby days.

There is not any required experience for a placement. The center would be excited to have students apply who have lived experience as a community/technical college student and/or personal experience navigating social service systems.
