Our Internship Program


Harlem Dowling-West Side Center for Children and Family Services (HDWC), each year hosts Graduate level Social Work students from the local community colleges and universities for internships in our programs. Whether you're looking for training in the social work field, an opportunity to develop knowledge, experience or skills, or simply a chance to determine if you'll enjoy working in this field, an internship could be your best bet. We consider an internship in our programs as one of the most effective ways to recruit skilled new employees for full-time staff position.

Students are supervised by experienced Masters level Social Workers, get hands on practice with Adolescent Groups, Domestic Violence survivors, trauma victims, youth with mental health challenges, birth parents struggling to regain custody of their children, and countless children and teens affected by placement in foster care. Students studying Administration and Policy have the opportunity to work with our Administrative Departments to learn Child Welfare Policy and develop grant writing skills. We are committed to providing field placements rich in learning experiences across all of our programs and departments.
