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.
The Crisis Nursery Intern gain experience supporting families in crisis. The Crisis Nursery intern works with agency staff to provide care for children whose parents are faced with crises such as homelessness, domestic violence, joblessness, or substance abuse. Interns may also work with parents to provide support and linkage to additional community services.
This on-site internship requires students to complete hours at the MotherHouse Crisis Nursery site in Rockford. The Crisis Nursery internship is appropriate for students pursuing an internship for college credit towards an undergraduate or graduate degree in Early Childhood Education, Psychology, Child Development, Family Studies, or a related field.
