LSSI Internship Program

LSSI is currently accepting applications for its internship program. The upcoming fall internship period runs from approximately mid-September through mid-December, depending on an intern’s school schedule.

Internships are unpaid, but they can be used for academic credit,  and they provide students with hands-on job training to prepare them for careers in social services.

Internships require a minimum of 10 to 15 hours of work per week, with flexible daytime hours. If the agency has extra projects or work that needs completed outside of the 10 to 15 hours, the intern can choose to work more hours.  

The goal of the LSSI Internship Program is to recruit current and previous qualified interns for job openings with the agency, and to provide experiential learning to college students interested in careers in social services. However, LSSI cannot guarantee openings will be available at the end of the internship period, nor does the agency guarantee employment if openings are available.

  • Provide front desk support.
  • Input data into the agency database as needed.
  • Help with front desk duties, such as answering phones, printing, making copies, and assisting with large mailings.
  • Provide assistance with program support, special projects, and administrative duties.
  • Provide assistance with grant research as needed.
Requirements
  • Be enrolled in the second year of college in a social-service or related field of study.
  • Pass several background and human resources checks to abide by our accrediting body.
