We offer internships each year to Bachelor and Master students of Social Work beginning on the last week of August and ending in May. Our interns gain firsthand experience as they journey with violence exposed youth and families Bachelor level interns have the opportunity to handle case management with individuals, while Master of Social Work (MSW) students are able to lead group and individual therapy sessions.
We request that interns preferably be bilingual and/or have some experience of working with the Latino and African-American community. If selected you must be able to provide your own transportation and be willing to follow up with home visits as needed.
The internships are a rigorous and rewarding experience with a commitment from Monday to Friday. This internship does not provide a stipend, but you can receive course credit and hours towards field experience.
