Child Watch Internship

The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Dress for Success Oregon (DFSO) is Oregon’s leading workforce development agency supporting women and gender expansive individuals from all backgrounds. Our goal is to address all barriers that women face when it comes to finding employment.

By tackling these barriers head-on, we aim to create a more inclusive and equal workforce. Additionally, we strive to provide a trauma-informed space, where they can voice any concerns arising in their job search. When women feel confident in their abilities and like they have the resources to succeed, they are more likely to pursue their career goals and overcome any obstacles that come their way.

By addressing these issues and providing support, we can help women achieve success in the workplace and break down the barriers that hold them back. What we value: Let’s start with what we value. First and foremost, we value you!

We value the individual talents and knowledge that you bring. DFSO is a Social Enterprise, which means we value a self-starter mentality, entrepreneurial thinking, creativity, innovation, risk, failure, and learning. We want you to grow, learn, and explore.

About the Internship Dress for Success Oregon is seeking two paid Child Watch Interns to support the launch of Child Watch at Work Well, our new coworking and community resource center. Child Watch helps make Work Well more accessible for parents and caregivers by providing a safe, welcoming and engaging space for children while their parent or caregiver remains onsite and accesses career services, workshops, coworking, health and wellness resources, and other Work Well programming. This is a hands-on internship for someone interested in early childhood education, child and family studies, social work, education, psychology, human services, nonprofit work, or a related field.

We anticipate hiring two interns who will share weekday coverage. Applicants do not need to be available every weekday, but must be able to commit to a consistent recurring schedule throughout the full cohort.
