About The Position

Youth Villages offers paid internship opportunities for master's students in select residential and community-based programs.

Internships also provide professional experience beyond academic requirements. Opportunities are offered nationwide during the fall and spring semesters, with select Tennessee locations available in summer. Positions are limited, and offers are made on a rolling basis.
