  Student Internship Opportunities

The opportunity for student internships exists both at the graduate and undergraduate levels.  Internships are offered in human services, education, recreation, administration, and public relations.  Students completing internships are required to work at least 168 hours per semester.  Each student is supervised weekly and a mid-semester and final evaluation are completed.

The student internship program at Valley Youth House has two purposes:

1. To provide a positive experiential learning experience for aspiring professionals seeking to enter the social service field. It provides the opportunity to reality test skills, ideas, expectations, and goals.

2. To assist Valley Youth House in their goal of providing services to youth and their families.

As students are provided most of their education through the classroom, it is the philosophy of Valley Youth House that the primary process for learning in an internship should be through direct experience. Therefore, students doing an internship at Valley Youth House are given a great deal of responsibility and contact with the agency clientele. This varies according to program assignment and the amount of time the student has available for an internship.
