Conservatorship Reform Project Fieldwork Opportunity
Learn things that aren’t taught in law school or medical school as an intern with Conservatorship Reform Project (CRP).  CRP teaches people how to avoid conservatorships and advocates for the interests of elders and people with disabilities who have lost their property and civil rights in California’s conservatorship system. 
“I went from having minimal knowledge about conservatorship and reversible causes of dementia to creating projects on both!  It was very fun and exciting to be in charge of my own research.  I felt like a detective, and the process of completing each project was overall very enjoyable.  I was not expecting to be able to work on my own projects right away.   The CRP internship greatly exceeded my expectations.  I recommend CRP internships because they offer opportunities for students to do fulfilling work that will actually make a difference!” — Romina Farzaneh Class of 2027
Interested candidates should email Selene at conservatorshipreform@lmi.net. Please include your resume and reasons for applying. Deadline September 20, 2024
