Internships

King Street maintains a strong commitment to area colleges to provide experiential and professional learning opportunities for students interested in the fields of early childhood education, social work, psychology, human development, and elementary education. While our internships are unpaid, interns often receive college credit or use toward a class experience (upon agreement with educational institution.) Unpaid internships are also available to students or young professionals seeking to enhance and deepen their work experience. (Typically 6-12 hours per week.) Applicants must be a minimum of 17 years old.
