At JFS Rochester, we provide students with a range of opportunities for growth, academic development, community involvement, and more. Whether you are looking for a fulfilling and educational internship experience or support in funding your undergraduate career, the staff at Jewish Family Services can provide you with the resources you need.
JFS Rochester hosts multiple internship projects throughout the year thanks to The Morris and Ruth Malett Internship Program. A paid internship will be awarded to college students whose area of academic interest is in Judaic studies, human services, or a field relevant to the work of Jewish Family Services. Depending on the specific opportunity, graduate and undergraduate students may apply. The internship fund was established by Sheldon D. Malett and Roseann R. Kraus to honor the memory of their parents.
