Internship Application

Please allow about 15 minutes to fill out this form completely. 

If you’d prefer to fill out a paper application please download one from the internships page.

Interns at HCWC are highly valued and receive in-depth training and regular supervision to equip them with the tools to succeed. You can be assured of a structured and productive learning experience when you intern at HCWC. Our internships are on-site and unpaid.

The people we serve are vulnerable and their safety is of paramount importance. To address this issue, HCWC screens potential employees, volunteers, and interns by conducting criminal background checks and reference checks. Information obtained is confidential as provided by law and will be used and retained only as authorized by law.

Below is an outline of how the process works, so you’ll know what to expect:

  • Complete your application and submit it to HCWC. Your application will be reviewed and asked to interview, if appropriate. Meeting with our Community Engagement Coordinator is a good time to see if your internship needs and expectations match up with our agency’s needs. Since we have several distinct areas of service, the Community Engagement Coordinator will try to match you with the area that best fits your interests and skills.
  • HCWC will evaluate your application, interview, references, criminal background check, and our agency needs to determine if an internship placement is appropriate.
  • After the interview, you will receive a link via email to collect two references. These are taken into account when determining your placement.
  • All interns who work directly with clients must attend Advocate Training.
  • Advocate Training is scheduled three times each year. Please submit your application several months prior to the start dates listed on the website.

If you would like more information about internships, please contact the Community Engagement Coordinator using the form on our website or by email at kbrotze@hcwc.org.
