Why are Internships Important?

Internships provide practical experience in a professional environment. Practical experiences apply the content from your coursework to relevant issues in the workplace. Many employers seek to hire Masters level graduates who already have on-the-job training.


El Hogar is not for profit community-based organization meeting the federal designation as a 501(c) (3) not for profit organization. Our Internship Program provides opportunities for Graduate Students to participate in a rewarding diverse field experience to satisfy a portion of their requirements for school or professional internship. 

Thank you for expressing interest in El Hogar’s Internship Program. 

We accept graduate level interns from LPCC, MFT and ASW programs. It is important for the school you attend to have a contract with our agency before we can accept an intern from that school. You may want to check with your school to see if a contract does exist between your school and El Hogar.


We prefer that our interns work at least two eight hour days per week. If you are looking for full time employment and not an internship, please visit our employment page. Please note, if you have already graduated and have a Master’s degree in psychology, social work or a related field and are registered with the CA Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), you no longer qualify for an Internship Program at El Hogar, but instead may apply for full time employment.


Mentorship is a proven strategy that helps young adults achieve their potential. It is a relationship founded on trust, openness, professionalism, and a mutual desire to learn. Through a series of conversations and shared experiences, mentorship channels interest and curiosity toward goal setting, career exploration, and personal as well as professional growth.


Mentors benefit by:

  • Developing and honing their listening and communication skills,
  • Reengaging with their core values,
  • Contributing to the future success of their mentee
  • Gaining self-confidence through crafting this relationship.


Sponsoring organizations benefit by:

  • Broadening their employee’s perspective,
  • Providing professional development,
  • Enhancing their workplace culture,
  • Building connections with the broader community
  • Contributing to their own workforce pipeline
  • Identifying future in-house leaders
  • Creating a more well-rounded, engaged, and skilled workforce.
