Internships

The Children’s Bereavement Center offers a distinctive clinical environment for counseling graduate students through our internship program. This program allows student counselors to gain hands-on experience working with children while also developing critical knowledge and communication skills under professional guidance. If you are passionate about supporting children and their families, we invite you to apply for one of our internship positions.

Each semester, we receive numerous applications from students eager to learn about grief counseling and to work with the families we serve. We are deeply appreciative of the interest shown by so many aspiring counselors. However, our internship program is highly competitive, and applying does not guarantee a placement.

At this time, our internship positions for Spring 2025 have been filled. However, if you wish to apply for Summer 2025, please submit your application and all required documents beginning January 2nd, 2025. The deadline for Summer 2025 applications is March 24th, 2025. Once we have reviewed your application, we will reach out to you to begin the interview process. Please note that our internship opportunities are exclusively available to students who are currently enrolled in master’s level programs and are on the path to becoming licensed professional counselors.

For student interns who have secured a site for the summer but are seeking additional hours or more experience in group facilitation, we offer Adjunct Student Counselor positions. These positions require the co-facilitation of two evening groups per week throughout the semester.

We appreciate your interest in the Children’s Bereavement Center and look forward to the possibility of working with you.
