Intern and Student Volunteers

For updates about volunteering the COVID-19 crisis, please click here.

GoochlandCares partners with local universities, colleges and job-training programs to offer placement for students enrolled or having completed courses that require real-life experience. Placement is made through the educational institution (e.g. VCU, ProTrain, University of Richmond, J. Sargent Reynolds Community College, John Tyler Community College), but all intern and student volunteers are required to complete an Intern and Student Volunteer Application.
