Founded in 1984, the College Internship Program operates within the higher education sector and is based in Lee, Massachusetts. It runs centers across the United States that provide structured support for young adults on the autism spectrum and with learning differences, helping them develop self-knowledge and practical skills for college life, employment, and independent living. These programs reflect a multi-decade effort to guide transitions for this population through higher education settings. CIP's services focus on improving access to higher education, preparing for work, and enabling independent living for teens and young adults with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences. In 2020 the organization introduced a virtual program called Summer Sessions to reach remote learners. In 2017, CIP named Elizabeth Roberts as National Director of Clinical Support Services, signaling an emphasis on clinical support within the organization.
