SRC Internship Program
Serenity Recovery Connection partners with the Pikes Peak Workforce Center and Goodwill Re-Hire to provide extended paid training to SRC volunteers and those interested in learning about substance use disorder. Interested persons must interview with SRC and qualify with one of the internship partnerships. The paid training opportunity is typically 10-11 weeks. Participants gain hands-on practical experience that highlights the competencies of a Peer Recovery Coach.
Serenity Recovery Connection is expanding our Peer Coach Internship Program, with funding from BHA. The Peer Coach Internship Program is a paid 500-hour internship that provides all of the training and hours needed to obtain the Certified Peer and Family Specialist (CPFS) certification used to work as a peer coach in Colorado. There is a small volunteer commitment required to be eligible for the Internship Program, meaning roughly two hours per week.
