Use your status as a UCF student and ask your local community members if they need a volunteer intern. Try doing a Google search of the type of experience you want. For example: Google \u201cVolunteer opportunity in Orlando\u201d and you\u2019ll find some names of counselors in the area. Check out local non-profit organizations and public schools, too. Send them a well written e-mail asking if they have an internship opportunity available, and if not, perhaps they would be willing to meet with you to do an informational interview about their career field.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-lg-6\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to get relevant experience: internships, research, teaching assistant &amp; more!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/05QwYkvno_U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"jumbotron jumbotron-fluid mb-0 bg-secondary\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<h4>Some places that psychology majors have volunteered at to gain relevant experience before are:<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-lg-6\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<ul>\n<li>ASPIRE<\/li>\n<li>Big Brother Big Sister<\/li>\n<li>Children\u2019s Home Society of Florida<\/li>\n<li>The Center<\/li>\n<li>Mental Health Association of Central Florida<\/li>\n<li>Harbor House<\/li>\n<li>New Hope for Kids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" col-lg-6\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<ul>\n<li>Give Kids the World<\/li>\n<li>Musician\u2019s On Call<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer Seminole County Public Schools<\/li>\n<li>Orange County Public Schools<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer Match .org<\/li>\n<li>and more\u2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Some other things you may consider are:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>PSY4942 Instructional Experiences in Undergraduate Psychology:<\/strong> This internship is designed for advanced psychology majors who want to explore Teaching as part of their professional development, by becoming a Teaching Assistant.
