Internships

Deborah’s Place offers unpaid internship / practicum opportunities to bachelor’s- and master’s-level students each academic year and during the summers.

Types of Internships and Students:
Students who do their internships here are usually Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, Women’s Studies, Adult Education, Leadership and Development, Public Health, or Urban/Community Studies students. Internship positions include: Case Manager, Counselor, Learning Center Intern, Health Services Intern, and Residential Program Intern. Internships may take place at any of our 3 sites, depending on the position. Occasionally, evening and weekend hours are available, again depending on the specific position. Please visit the rest of our website to learn more about the work we do at Deborah’s Place.

Intern Recruitment Process:
Our process for accepting students for the summer or the academic year is as follows: Deborah’s Place will host several “Intern Information Meetings” in the spring of each year. Prospective interns are strongly encouraged to attend one of these meetings, as this is the beginning of our selection process. At these meetings, students are able to learn about Deborah’s Place, our mission, and our work. They will also hear detailed descriptions of the internship positions available in the summer and fall. At the end of each meeting, students are asked to complete a questionnaire / application that inquires about their interest in an internship at Deborah’s Place, and why they would be a good fit for the internship. After these meetings, DP supervisors will review the questionnaires and then set up one-on-one interviews with students.

Intern Information Meeting Dates for 2012:

• Thursday, March 8 – 10 AM
• Wednesday, March 28 – 5 PM
• Tuesday, April 17 – 2 PM

A few additional notes:

• All Intern Information Meetings take place at 2822 W. Jackson. Meetings last 1-2 hours
• Please RSVP for the meeting you wish to attend, and send your CV/resume to: Megan Reedy-McGovern at mreedy@deborahsplace.org at least 1 week prior to the specific meeting date.
• CVs/resumes are the only documents/paperwork necessary at this point. Please do not send reference letters, transcripts, or writing samples. These materials may be requested at a later date.
• Deborah’s Place will not be hosting Art Therapy interns in 2012.
• Internships for master’s-level counseling students are Case Management positions (not counseling/therapy), and are very limited.
