Internships

Case Management

As a case management intern, you will work directly with clients in an effort to help them stabilize their current situation and pursue self-reliance. Case management interns conduct initial assessments, create stabilization plans, submit referrals, and follow-up with clients to ensure they are achieving their goals. If clients struggle to meet goals, case management interns assess what barriers are in place that impact the client’s success. Case management interns will also have opportunities to attend outreach events to promote the agency and our work. Case management interns must be enrolled in BSW, MSW, or human services programs that require an internship. View our case management placement description here.
