Oasis can work with the student's law school to facilitate formal externships for credit. If you are a law student interested in a legal internship, please contact legalintern@oasislegalservices.org for more information.

Oasis hosts social work graduate-level interns during the academic year, as part of the MSW field placement process, which typically takes place in spring of every year.
