Graduate Student Internships

Each year the department provides a clinical internship for a master’s level graduate student from an accredited social work school. The graduate student provides services to the department for 2 to 3 days a week under the direct supervision of the clinical staff, the director, and the school.

Past Intern Testimony

What some of our past interns have said about this program:

• “I instantly felt welcomed by everyone. It was an incredible experience for me clinically, as I was able to work with many different populations with various needs. I felt completely supported by all of the staff, including my supervisor Mark who consistently challenged me and gave me the confidence to continue on in this field. I am very grateful for the experience and would recommend it for anyone looking to get great clinical experience.” - Erica, 2014 Bridgewater State University Graduate
• “Falmouth Human Services provides many wonderful services to the citizens of Falmouth, by using a variety of programs to help people help themselves. As is stated in their mission statement, they are “supporting and empowering residents and strengthening the community as a whole.” The very idea that the Town of Falmouth has a Human Services office says a lot about the value placed on the wellbeing of its citizens. I learned a great deal during my internship at Falmouth Human Services and am grateful for having been given the opportunity to work and learn in my own town.” - Kathy, 2013 Boston University Graduate
