+ Apply for an Internship

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our internships look a bit different than in previous semesters. Please keep this in mind as you search. See additional information in the internship description.

Each year Children’s Home & Aid hosts nearly 100 interns from a variety of accredited colleges and universities. Opportunities are available at locations throughout Illinois and span many programs and administrative departments. Our internships provide students with meaningful learning opportunities to gain professional experience and apply their theoretical learning within a practical setting.

Spring 2021 internships will be posted by Thursday, October 28. If you’d like an email alert when Spring internships are posted, please click here.

The application portal will remain open for at least 30 days. To ensure your application is considered, we suggest submitting your application no later than November 13

To view all of our Internship Opportunities and apply, please click here.

All internships are unpaid and require that the intern receive college/university credit.

If you have questions or need assistance with the application process, please contact LearnWithUs@childrenshomeandaid.org.
