At Milestone Decisions, our mission is to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independently, grow personally, and experience meaningful connections. For University of Idaho students, an internship or volunteer experience with us is an opportunity to be part of that mission while gaining experiences that can shape both your career and your view of the world.
The relationships you build are at the heart of the experience. You have the chance to get to know the people we support, celebrate accomplishments, share everyday moments, and see firsthand the importance of connection, empathy, patience, and showing up for others. Those experiences can stay with you long after your internship or volunteer hours are complete.
You are also building skills you can carry into practically any job market. Working or volunteering with a nonprofit gives you real-world experience to add to your resume and meaningful stories to share in future interviews. For students considering careers in social work, psychology, education, healthcare, nonprofit leadership, human services, or other people-centered fields, that firsthand exposure can be especially valuable.
If you’re looking for an experience that goes beyond checking a box on your resume, consider joining our team at Milestone. Gain experience. Build relationships. Make a difference.
Find us and apply online at www.milestonedecisions.com, Handshake and other platforms, and reach out to us at [email protected]. We can’t wait to hear from you!
