“My internship with Senior Life Solutions has been a very positive experience. I have been able to work on a number of skills that I was hoping to build upon as a social worker, and in areas that I normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to experience such as community involvement. The people I work with are very helpful, supportive, and professional. They have been keeping me busy since I started!”
