Internships

Interns are a key component to helping Ginnie’s House build a safe, child-friendly environment that protects children. Our different internship programs allow students to work with Ginnie’s House in a variety of ways; by assisting our professionals; with community outreach and education; and helping to coordinate and promote fundraising efforts.

For a successful internship, the needs of both the student and Ginnie’s House must be met. Communication between the student, Ginnie’s House and the Field Supervisor is essential. We offer both clinical and macro undergraduate internships, and some postgraduate internships:

• Clinical social work students will be supervised by the Child and Family Therapists and will be able to assist with intake, treatment planning, evaluations, and observe individual and group sessions.
• Macro students will be active with community education events, with conference development, fundraising and general non-profit structure and management.

Ginnie’s House accepts up to two undergraduate or graduate interns at a time. If the needs of all parties appear to be met, the application process can begin with completing an application and submitting it to Ginnie’s House.

We look forward to helping you complete a successful internship and to your assistance at Ginnie’s House.

This training is developed on the premise that ending sexual abuse takes a cooperative, community effort. When we prevent child sexual abuse, we address a root cause of social problems like violent crime, homelessness, teen pregnancy, health problems, and substance abuse. In taking the training and helping to prevent sexual abuse you will be joining with us to contribute to a healthier and happier community. Take the training and learn the 5 Steps to making a difference to protecting our children.

Some people taking the training are survivors of child sexual abuse. We hope that this training is affirming and empowering, and, if you have not already sought professional help, we encourage you to do so.

Some taking this training may be (or have) sexually abusing a child, breaking safe boundaries, or thinking about children in ways that are sexual. It is important that you seek help or request a referral.
