Description

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.

The Violence Prevention and Support program implements campus-wide strategies to prevent interpersonal violence and provide support to all members of the campus community that have experienced Interpersonal Violence (stalking, sexual assault, and/or relationship violence).
Gators Thrive is dedicated to supporting all students in and seeking recovery from substance use by empowering them to make recovery, supportive decisions about their health and well-being and raising awareness of and normalizing recovery in our campus community.
The Benefits Hub offers one-stop financial assistance and enrollment in benefits, including: FAFSA/WASFA assistance, utility assistance, homelessness prevention and housing navigation, financial coaching, food resources, help paying for financial emergencies, enrollment in public benefits, and connections to additional resources.

Micro

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.

As the Recovery Support Intern, the caseload of student will be specifically students in or seeking recovery around substance use, eating disorders, gambling, etc. through a peer support, harm reduction model.

Mezzo

Students will coordinate and co-lead Recovery support groups, collaborate with other offices who serve large numbers of students in recovery to provide wrap around support and eliminate barriers to student success. Practicum students will provide outreach representing the center at campus events, as well as in the larger community. At several points in the year, the Recovery Support Intern will provide Recovery Ally training across campus.

Macro

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.

Required Experience

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, students who identify as being in recovery, and/or personal experience navigating social service systems.
