Winners Circle Group•Houston, TX

About The Position

This internship is designed for an undergraduate student exploring social work, behavioral health, or a related human services field as a potential career path. Rather than a direct-service role, this position offers structured exposure to the profession of behavioral health through project-based work across administration, communications, quality assurance, and community resource development. The intern will spend the summer contributing to projects that support — but operate alongside rather than inside — our clinical and operational functions. She will leave the internship with a portfolio of completed work, a clearer understanding of what a career in community behavioral health looks like, and a network of professional contacts across the field.
