Internships/Service Learning Hours
Thank you for your Interest
Students seeking their Bachelor degree in Social Work, Psychology, Family and
Consumer Sciences or a related field should consider a field instruction internship with
Discovery.
Interns will have a set schedule and will gain professional exposure to the following:
Parenting Education, Family Life Skills Training, Visit Coaching, administrative duties, and
documentation. The learning experience will be supervised by a Licensed Social Worker.
Things to Consider
- All internships/service learning hours are unpaid.
- Most services are done in clients' home, although some are
held in an office setting or a group setting.
