Work-Study Partnership
NWTC Students at RHM
Shadow. Learn. Serve. A work-study partnership with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College offering real nonprofit business experience — working alongside our admin team to keep client care top notch.

Shadow. Learn. Serve.
Every work-study hour at RHM moves through the same three movements — watching closely, growing in understanding, and carrying real responsibility with humility.
Shadow
Students shadow trained staff and peers through the real rhythms of the ministry — client care coordination, group life, and one-on-one support — seeing what wise, well-run care actually looks like up close.
Learn
Every shadow hour becomes a learning hour. Students take in the peer model, ethical boundaries, documentation practices, and daily operations that no textbook can reproduce — guided by experienced staff.
Serve
The heart of the work study: students carry real responsibility that keeps client care top notch — from the front office to the community room — learning to love well through faithful, excellent work.
Work on Our Admin Team — Where Client Care Begins
This is real nonprofit business experience. Work-study students serve inside RHM's administrative team, learning the operations, systems, and service standards that keep client care top notch.
Client Care Coordination
Support the intake and scheduling workflows that connect every person to the right care at the right time — follow-ups, appointment logistics, and the details that make people feel cared for before they ever sit down with a counselor.
Records & Office Operations
Learn the behind-the-scenes systems of a nonprofit: confidential record keeping, documentation standards, office workflow, and the operational excellence that keeps a ministry trustworthy.
Communication & Reception
Be a warm, professional first point of contact — answering inquiries, routing requests, and ensuring every person who reaches out to RHM is met with courtesy, clarity, and compassion.
Program & Community Support
Assist with event logistics, volunteer coordination, partner communications, and special projects that strengthen the ministry’s service to churches, students, and the community.
What students gain: hands-on experience in nonprofit operations, client service standards, professional communication, and office systems — the kind of resume-building, career-forming experience that comes from being trusted with work that matters.
Four Steps to Begin
Talk With Your NWTC Advisor
Work-study eligibility begins at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College — check with your program advisor or work-study coordinator about placing your hours with RHM.
Express Interest With RHM
Email us with your name, program of study, and availability. We will schedule a short conversation to match your hours and interests with either our client-care admin team or our peer support rhythm.
Complete Orientation
Before your first shift, students finish orientation, confidentiality, and safeguarding requirements — so the people we serve are protected from day one.
Begin Shadowing & Serving
Start shadowing experienced staff, with supervision and reflection built into every shift. Students grow into greater responsibility as trust and competence develop.
A Note on Timing
The 120 House is in development with a target launch of 2028, but students can begin connecting with RHM now — work-study hours in the admin team, coursework, and volunteer rhythms are available today, so students arrive at the house already formed and ready to serve.
