Becoming a Host Community Partner Agency (CPA)

Becoming a Host Community Partner Agency (CPA)

Thank you for your interest in the CRJ Internship Program. We believe the Internship Experience provides students with great opportunities to apply what they learn in the classroom. It also provides a great opportunity to work side-by-side with professionals, like you, in the field of Criminal Justice. In collaboration with our hosting “Community Partner Agency,” students are able to fully expand their hands-on learning.

The ASU School of Criminology and Criminal Justice Program is ranked 12th in the Nation (US News & World Reports). Currently, the CRJ Internship Program is designed for Juniors, Seniors and Graduate students. When requested, we assist Freshman and Sophomores in finding "Volunteer" work within one of our Community Partner Agencies. This always provides valuable experience for our students. Internships and Volunteer Placements can occur during the Fall, Spring or Summer semesters.

As a Community Partner Agency, you will determine which CRJ Intern is assigned to your agency. You also determine how many interns you are willing to host each semester. Regardless, our CRJ students are expected to contact the Community Partner Agency, complete necessary documentation for internal agency approval (screenings, submitting resume, finger prints, etc.) PRIOR to being accepted in the CRJ Internship Program.

CRJ Internship students are expected to negotiate with the Community Partner Agency the following: learning objectives, internship hours, supervision, internship tasks/expectations, etc. Once agreed upon, the Community Partner Agency completes the Agency Affiliation Agreement (between the CRJ Department and the Community Partner Agency). These are good for one school year. Prior to the internship being completed, the Community Partner Agency Intern Supervisor will complete the AGENCY’S EVALUATION OF STUDENT INTERN.
