Case Support InternAt — Escondido Education COMPACT
Interns will work under supervision within the Housing Department, Juvenile Justice Department, or Achievement Center. Interns assist with intakes, case notes, referrals, client follow-ups, housing and basic need resource navigation, and coordination of services.
By the end of this opportunity, students will have gained knowledge of gang prevention strategies, trauma‑informed care, and positive youth development principles. Students will develop skills in mentorship, communication, cultural competency, professionalism, advocacy, and community engagement. Participants will learn how to build trust with at‑risk youth, support goal‑setting, and promote positive alternatives to gang involvement. Students will also gain exposure to program coordination, community outreach, and impact evaluation, preparing them for careers in social services, education, and justice‑related fields.
