Students serve as volunteers in a psychology-related setting for 45 or 90 or 135 hours a semester. Such settings include mental health facilities, community service agencies, and human resources departments. Activities such as interacting with patients, observing ward meetings, reading case records, interacting with professional mental health workers, attending case conferences, working to improve employee productivity are possible, depending upon the aims and policies of the particular setting in which the student is volunteering. A term paper is required which involves library research and which demonstrates an understanding of how the student's fieldwork directly relates to specific areas of Psychology.
