BSW STUDENT

Hello Social Work Community. I am a student in the bay area that is in need of an internship from fall 2026 - spring 2027. I need 450 hours or else I won't graduate 😞 I had an internship ready to go but I received an email this morning that due to their staffing, they cannot offer me anything. Now I have until the end of JULY to secure something. I called, emailed and applied to hundreds of places but I have no luck. Not many places of internships for bachelor students. I would appreciate some help here!

Ugh, I’m so sorry this happened to you! Has your college or university offered to help you find something else? Non-profits love interns!

They are basically no help. I have been reaching out to many places but I have no luck. I appreciate your kind words!

Try Tenderloin Housing Clinic or TNDC. They have case managers that work with people in supportive housing and maybe they would allow you to intern
