+ 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.

Interns are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and to submit proof of their vaccination status before their start date unless they have an agency approved medical or religious exemption. Interns with an exemption will need to provide proof of weekly testing. For more information about our COVID-19 safety practices, please click here.

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 2022 internships will be posted by Thursday, September 30. For updates on our latest job postings follow us on Instagram at The Recruitment Room.

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 Friday, November 12.

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.
