Spring 2027 - Master's Level Internship

Youth Villages•Greenville, NC

About The Position

Youth Villages offers paid internship placements for master's students in select residential and community-based programs. Placements are determined during interviews based on availability, academic requirements, and the applicant’s experience. The organization collaborates with interns and their academic programs to create placements that meet practicum needs and class schedules and support course credit. Internships also offer professional experience beyond academic requirements. They are offered nationwide during fall and spring semesters, with select Tennessee locations available during summer. Offers are extended on a rolling basis, and placements are limited. The Master's Level Intern shadows counselors during home- and community-based family sessions, carries a reduced caseload, implements interventions, and facilitates individual, group, and/or family therapy. Interns use evidence-based practices, attend weekly individual, team, and clinical consultation meetings, access clinical training, provide transportation as needed, and complete timely and accurate documentation in an electronic medical record system. The schedule is flexible and non-traditional, based on the availability of youth and families served. Applicants must have a current, valid driver’s license, an automobile for work purposes, and proof of auto insurance. Community-based staff are reimbursed for applicable mileage.
