     The B.C.C. offers university graduate students in psychology in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil paid internships (500Reals/month) for 12 months.  These students come out of Psychology Doctorate programs and are required to be fluent in English.  Students have full access to the psychology library in the B.C.C. office (with literature in English ranging from the 1940's to the latest books of 2009.)  Also, there is internet available to students who wish to surf the web for the latest articles and resources in psychology.  The decision of which student will receive an internship is done by a majority vote of the B.C.C. Board of Directors.  The President  provides the board with all appropriate information (i.e. resumes, University transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) for applying students.  Students, who receive the internship, are taught (by the President) techniques in the C.C.F.T. and M.H.C. concentrations of psychology (two hours/day, five days/week in the office) and the students work directly with the target populations. 
     The President supervises and mentors (at least one hour/week per student) the students as they attempt their newly learned techniques upon the target populations (10 hours/week per student.)  Students are required to meet with clients away from the office (for confidentiality reasons.)  Students are encouraged to:  1) provide visceral needs to clients (assist with acquiring food/shelter, sex education and, if the client is in physical danger, take appropriate action,) 2) assist with the effects caused by drug addiction, prostitution, rape, molestation, discrimination, physical violence, a life of crime, or other social ailments, and 3) attend to the mental health of said clients in safe environments.  The majority of services are provided at church sites, within the abodes of certain clients (after a screening process,) onsite at schools, and at the street-level (i.e. at the beach, public parks, etc.) if deemed appropriate.    

"Give a person a fish, feed 'em for a day; teach a person to fish, feed 'em for life!"  The B.C.C. creates a healthier and safer Brazil through a capacity building model.
