Intern­ship Information

Every year, KYC part­ners with accred­it­ed grad­u­ate pro­grams in social work, psy­chol­o­gy, men­tal health coun­sel­ing, and more through­out Chicagoland and beyond to host Mas­ters-lev­el clin­i­cal interns on sev­er­al of our Out­pa­tient and Recov­ery teams. 

Appli­ca­tions for this pro­gram open in Jan­u­ary for the fol­low­ing August-May aca­d­e­m­ic year. Only one appli­ca­tion is need­ed to be con­sid­ered for all pro­grams. There are two ways to sub­mit your application:

  1. Go to ken​nethy​oung​.org/​c​a​reers and View Open Posi­tions. The intern­ship posi­tion is called Clin­i­cal Intern­ship Pro­gram — Behav­ioral Health Intern,” and you may com­plete an appli­ca­tion there (pre­ferred)
  2. Email resume, cov­er let­ter, and sup­ple­men­tal appli­ca­tion to internshipprogram@​kennethyoung.​org

Please con­tact internshipprogram@​kennethyoung.​org with any ques­tions about the Mas­ters-lev­el clin­i­cal intern­ship program.
