Social work internships (BASW / MSW)
This placement is designed to be viable for BASW/MSW programs: clear responsibilities, supervised practice, documentation, and deliverables aligned to micro, mezzo, and macro learning goals.
Core practice
- Supervised participant intake + planning
- Case coordination (education/housing/workforce)
- Documentation + follow-up tracking
Group work (mezzo)
- CBT-informed skills groups (structured)
- Anger + emotion regulation skills
- Brief solution-focused goal groups
Skills-based groups (psychoeducation + practice), not crisis response.
Macro deliverables
- Resource toolkits + workflows
- Program briefs + partner memos
- Evaluation tools (basic outcomes tracking)
Optional placement track (as available): Teaching inside carceral facilities. Interns may support curriculum building, facilitation planning, and print-friendly learning materials for inside settings, aligned with reentry-to-education continuity. (Availability depends on facility access and active partnerships.)
BASW focus
Structured skills group support, resource navigation, documentation, and follow-through systems. Great for generalist practice and justice-focused learning.
MSW focus
Adds deeper assessment elements (as appropriate), facilitation leadership, case coordination ownership, and macro deliverables (evaluation/grants/program design) depending on requirements and supervision structure.
