Lawyers for Children (LFC) is a dynamic organization of social workers, Attorneys, and Youth Advocates that provides advocacy and comprehensive services to some of New York City's most vulnerable children.
Lawyers for Children works with child welfare organizations, family court and service providers with which our clients interface on a daily basis.
LFC has a robust social work Summer internship program for students committed to child welfare issues. As a social work intern, you would work side by side with our staff social workers, gaining valuable exposure to the profession and to the most pressing issues facing the City's children and their families.
Interns will have a formal training program that continues throughout the summer.
Social work interns have the opportunity to accompany social workers on field visits, sit in on client interviews and case conferences, observe court cases, and help prepare the social work portion of cases for hearings and trial.
In addition, interns will work together as part of the legal/social work team that makes LFC's advocacy model unique.
Summer internships are full-time, for ten weeks, starting June 1, 2020.
