Where Can I Find A Paid Internship???
Posted by: Alan in Alcohol Counseling, tags: Find, Internship, Paid, Where
i am a senior at Penn State majoring in Rehabilitation and Human Services with a minor in Psychology. I NEED an internship for the Spring 2009 semester. More importantly a PAID internship. I have to pay tuition to penn state for 15 credits. I have to work at least 40 hours per week for 16 weeks (one semester) to fulfill my graduation requirement.
Since i am not 100% sure which direction I would like to go in the field I am open to main ideas. A list of things i wouldlnt mind doing:
case management
social work
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Rehabilitation Therapy
Family and Marital counseling
Drug and alcohol counseling
et cetera.
Please help! If you know any websites that would be excellent! I found a ton of websites on internships..even paid, but it seems as though i cant find any paid for the social services. HELP 
I’m married thats why i need it to be paid.
Thank you!

Does Penn State not have a career services department? They would probably have info on internships, especially if they are required by your program. Speak to your professors and to your advisor, too.
It may be very difficult to get a paid internship, especially in the social services area. You might try contacting social service agencies and/or hospitals, etc in your area to find out whether they have such programs.

When it comes to social services, the centers rather they get as much free help as possible.
If you can travel, I suggest you look for such internships California. There are tons of counseling centers and rehabilitation institutes in those areas dealing with all kinds of problems. Since they cater to the affluent, I think they might be willing to pay their interns.
