Gain Practical Work Experience and Make a Difference as an Intern at Daily Work
Internships at Daily Work: Gain Experience. Make an Impact.
At Daily Work, you won’t just be learning—you’ll be making a real difference. Just like the job seekers we support, you’re preparing for a meaningful career, and we're committed to supporting your growth. Interns play a vital role across our organization, strengthening outreach, improving services, and enhancing our ability to track and share long-term impact through roles in communications, nonprofit administration, program development, and data analysis. No matter your focus, you’ll gain hands-on experience while contributing to meaningful change.
Case Management Internships
As a case management intern, you’ll work directly with job seekers, providing career coaching, resource navigation, and advocacy. Your contributions will expand access to individualized, relationship-based services that support employment and overall well-being. Through hands-on experience, you’ll develop skills in engagement, assessment, intervention, motivational interviewing, and cultural humility. You’ll also receive training on implicit bias, the bias of professionalism standards, and have the opportunity to participate in the Overcoming Racism Conference—giving you tools to foster more inclusive communities.
In this role you’ll carry your own caseload of 6–10 job seekers, often working with more than 50 people during your internship. Want more specifics? Check out our Case Management Internship Description.
Supervision and Support for Case Managers
We believe in learning by doing—but you won’t do it alone. Every week, you’ll join group supervision with a licensed social worker to consult on cases, share resources, and refine your approach. If you're a social work student, you’ll also receive bi-weekly individual supervision sessions. Our supervision approach not only meets, but exceeds the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requirements.
Join a Strong Community of Interns
Daily Work has hosted more than 100 student interns from over 10 local colleges and universities. With two licensed social workers on staff, we provide the mentorship, training, and real-world experience you need to take your next career step. You’ll also have opportunities to engage in macro-level learning through partnerships and field events.
