GAIN VALUABLE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
As an Outreach Concern intern-counselor, you will handle diverse caseloads interacting with students, teachers and parents in a school setting. You may be assigned to work with students in an elementary, middle or high school where you will encounter a wide range of emotional, social or behavioral issues. Your goal is to help students overcome these issues so they can focus on learning and achieving their personal success both in and outside the classroom. Prior interns report that real-world fieldwork is the most valuable way to prepare for a professional career.
