Social work is one of the fastest growing professions in the U.S., which is well-timed since the demand for mental health support in high schools continues to grow. In this post-pandemic world, teens are experiencing significantly more stress and economic challenges. Learn4Life has created a robust social worker internship program through partnerships with 10 colleges and universities throughout the country.
While school counselors support academics, social-emotional health and college or career placement, school social workers help keep students in school by supporting their social-emotional needs through creating a seamless link between the home, school and community.
Learn4Life’s accredited school social worker team is supported by 40 interns who work at the schools for a year. The internship program is in its sixth year, creating a steady pipeline of new social workers who are hired on in permanent positions.
