About the Organization:
Afghan Literacy Foundation is a 501c3 non profit and our mission at ALF is to empower children out of poverty through education. We envision a future where literacy breaks the cycle of poverty and provides universal access to education for all children. To achieve this, we primarily focus on providing student sponsorships, believing in the adage: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."
ALF operates as both a relief and development organization. We provide financial support to families, contingent upon their children's continued education. This approach not only fosters stability for families but also ensures that children can remain dedicated learners instead of being forced into child labor or early marriages, particularly for girls. Our work has also involved various initiatives, including providing educational resources, sanitation, school supplies, and access to the internet and technology. We also engage in environmental support for schools, such as building water wells, repairing and maintaining school facilities, constructing classrooms, and installing solar panels.
In 2024, we have initiated three new projects aimed at supporting girls who have been denied access to education. Firstly, we have established a computer lab in an undisclosed location where over 80 girls receive education in English, basic computer literacy, and software programs, enabling them to enhance their skills and employability. Secondly, we have provided computers to 10 girls, allowing them to follow the Iranian curriculum for formal education from seventh through twelfth grade, ultimately obtaining a diploma. Lastly, we have sponsored nine graduated girls to attend nursing programs, providing scholarships to facilitate their education and future careers.

About the Organization:
Faculty in the Schools of Education, Social Ecology, and Social Sciences share a database that allows faculty, staff, and students in all three units to coordinate recruitment and data collection with children and families. This is a common practice among top developmental research institutions and has many advantages to both research quality and efficiency. A shared resource increases efficiency and reduces costs to investigators, enabling 1) more high-quality research to be conducted, 2) more student-led projects, and 3) more pilot studies and studies with high-risk/high reward potential. The immediate purpose of the proposed research is to recruit individuals who are interested in participating in developmental research that is being conducted at UCI and to develop a participant database including the names of and contact information for those individuals. Parents who are interested in participating in research with their children provide their contact information and basic demographic information about their children, so that we can contact them when their children meet the enrollment criteria for the various studies being conducted by researchers taking part in this shared database. The specific studies include in their individual IRB that they will be recruiting participants through this database. The use of these recruitment efforts allow us to reach both a greater number of families as well as families of different demographics than we would have been able to contact otherwise and has the potential to benefit the affiliated units in the years to come.
Placement Job Description:

We are seeking a motivated and dedicated Advanced Field Study student to work on building and maintaining our existing database of families interested in participating in research at UCI.

About the Organization:
Crystal Cove Conservancy is the nonprofit public benefit organization partnered with Crystal Cove State Park. Together with our State Park partners, our mission is to restore the park, educate our future environmental leaders, and protect Crystal Cove, and places like it, for generations to come.
The Conservancy was founded in 1999 by Laura Davick, a third-generation resident of Crystal Cove who spearheaded the effort to preserve the Historic District when it was at risk of being redeveloped into a luxury resort.
Today, the Conservancy is one of California State Parks’ largest public benefit organizations and has become a nationally recognized model for public-private partnerships.
Our programs include environmental education programs for K-12 students and conservation programs, run in partnership with Crystal Cove State Park.
Less than a dozen miles from Crystal Cove live thousands of children who have never been to the beach. Every year, our STEM education programs bring over 5,500 low-income students to Crystal Cove State Park for the first time.
As they take part in real research on our beaches, in our backcountry, on the ocean, and in the classroom, students become California’s next generation of environmental leaders and develop a deep love for places like Crystal Cove. Many of our environmental education programs are provided free to teachers and students, ensuring that cost is no barrier to access.
We also work arm-in-arm with California State Parks to steward the park’s 2,400 acres of backcountry, 3.2 miles of coastline, and offshore underwater habitat through coordination efforts, conservation research and monitoring, and volunteer stewardship events. Together, we make sure that everyone can enjoy Crystal Cove for generations to come.

The Craig School is a school program that is dedicated to helping children who struggle with attention, and whose behavior interferes with accessing academic curriculum in traditional school settings. We specialize in treating children with neuro-developmental disorders and provide support and education to their families. Our school program integrates a token economy system and a cognitive-behavioral social skills program with a special education approach to academics. Our target population is children in third through eighth grade.
Through a clinical intervention program, children receive daily group cognitive-behavioral training directed by the highly trained staff. The program focuses on self-regulation, the management of anger, anxiety, frustration, and compliance, as well as social pragmatics, relational skills, and social reciprocity. During the classroom-based educational component, staff members implement a token economy system for about 16 to 18 students from third to eighth grades. Children attend group psychological intervention for 1 hour each day. This specially adapted school-based intervention model program developed at UC Irvine is theoretically based in cognitive-behavioral strategies and supported with applied behavior modification techniques. The Craig School Social Skills intervention model is specifically designed to meet the needs of children with behavioral challenges that are preventing them from accessing education and curriculum in a less restrictive setting.
