Hands-On Experience for Students

Experience a career at Youth Villages!

The Youth Villages Internship Program offers you unique, hands-on experience working with emotionally and behaviorally troubled youth in a residential, group home or home-based counseling setting in Memphis or one of our many other locations. A week-long orientation prepares you to work closely with our staff and learn to carry out many of the same duties, including group therapy, one-on-one processing, teaching life skills, organizing recreational therapy activities and more.

Our Internship Program also is a lot of fun. Community housing arrangements and organized group activities and outings to baseball games, Graceland, cosmic bowling and a smashing intern bash ensure you have plenty of fun things to do.

Youth Villages offers internships year round. Summer internships are 40 hours a week for 10 weeks and are paid. Fall or spring internships are for credit only; schedules are flexible.
