Practicums

 

We offer many practicums throughout the year for undergraduates or graduate-level students seeking training to gain professional experience or fulfill a degree requirement.  Students are paired with an MSW-level senior program staff member and receive a high-level of professional mentorship, training, and practical experience. 

 

Most students come from degree departments of social work, human relations, education, sociology, and psychology.  We are proud to participate in the training of future professionals whose work will be primarily directed towards children!
