INTERNSHIPS:

• ALL INTERNSHIPS FOR FALL OF 2026 WILL BE AT OUR NATICK OFFICE.
• Internships at the Boston Ability Center are unpaid at this time.
• In order to be eligible for an internship, students must be able to affiliate the internship with a school (i.e. completing an internship for academic credit, completing it as part of a course project, and/or completing it as part of a school-approved independent study). As a for-profit company, BAC is unable to provide internships that are not affiliated with a school program. 
• During their time at the BAC, interns may complete tasks such as, but not limited to:
  • Joining for/assisting during treatment sessions or groups
  • Observing
  • Cleaning and organizing
  • Setting up/transitioning treatment spaces between patients
  • Activity and material prep
  • Administrative tasks
• A member of our team will review your request and be in touch if we have availability that meets your needs. If so, next steps would involve scheduling a time for an interview and contacting your references to ensure that an intership at the BAC is the right fit.
