Hello all,
Many of you have already responded to my previous internship email. I wanted to clarify with some more information. Youth between the ages of 14-20 who are in DSS care and custody, reside in foster care, and have a goal of independent living can request approval for an eighty hour internship at $7 an hour. Internships should be vocational/career interest related, or requested for those youth with little or no employment experience and need to build job skills/ confidence in the ability to secure employment on their own. The internship program should not be seen as an alternative to regular employment. In extenuated circumstances, youth may request extended hours beyond the initial 80 hours. These will be reviewed upon receipt and approval will depend upon budget, and the needs of the youth. Please do not have youth work beyond the 80 hours and expect to be paid without prior approval. Social workers and the youth will be responsible for identifying the internship placements. Once an internship is identified, please fill out the attached referral and submit to me. The internships should be identified no later than the end of June.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hubbard
