Dream2007, did you ever find an internship? I have the same problem now, I need this done by January. I have looked into the Houston Area Women's Center and the other private organizations. It seems much like hands on volunteering that involves counseling and it shouldn't require a workers permit.
Here is my question, these applications ask for DL, easy I say I don't drive, but mostly all require a background check. Have you all gotten one a background check? If I am correct, we can get one but how? I don't want to have to explain my situation unless it is a must but I want to be able to help these volunteer coordinators filing my paperwork.
