About the Leadership Development Program:

For over two decades, CCRH has hosted a renowned year-long internship program. Among the first of its kind, CCRH’s Internship is structured asa paid workforce development initiative that prepares students and emerging professionals for careers in affordable housing development. Interns are placed with nonprofit housing developers and community-based organizations across California, gaining hands-on experience in project planning, housing finance, construction oversight, and community-serving housing solutions.

About the Position:

The Leadership Development Programs Intern is an internal operations role that supports the day-to-day coordination and administration of CCRH’s Internship Program.

This is an hourly position that reports to the Director of Leadership Development Programs without supervisory duties.
