Brightpoint (formerly known as Children’s Home & Aid) provides students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical learning within a practical setting. We aim to offer deeply meaningful and individualized learning experiences for those entering early childhood education and social service fields. Interns are required to be pursuing college credit towards a degree.
As a leading child and family service organization with more than 20 locations across Illinois, Brightpoint advances the well-being of children by investing in families to disrupt the systemic and multi-generational cycle of racial, social and economic inequality.
Interns will gain experience providing clinical services to families and youth who have been impacted by domestic violence. The goal of the Butterfly Project is to keep children safe and help families heal. Interns in this client-centered, trauma-informed program gain experience providing crisis intervention, advocacy, and risk assessment. This internship is appropriate for students pursuing a graduate degree in social work or counseling related programs.
