Internship Application LI-Patchogue – Patchogue, NY 11772
Description:
Community Housing Innovations (CHI) offers structured, supervised internship opportunities for students seeking an educational field placement in housing, homelessness, and human services settings.
Internships are an academic learning experience designed to support professional development while meeting university field education requirements. Interns gain hands-on experience in case management support, housing navigation, psychosocial group activities, and crisis response under the guidance of qualified, credentialed supervisors. Interns are integrated into program teams as learners and observers and are supported through intentional onboarding, supervision, and reflective practice. Internships are unpaid and completed for academic credit in partnership with the student’s college or university.
What Interns Can Expect:
- Supervision by licensed and experienced professionals
- Structured onboarding and orientation
- Learning activities aligned with academic objectives
- Exposure to micro, mezzo, and macro practice environments
- Ongoing support throughout the placement
Background check & onboarding requirements:
All interns must complete a required background screening before starting their placement. Clearance is coordinated by CHI Human Resources and provided at no cost to the student. The clearance process may take up to 3–4 weeks, so early outreach is strongly encouraged. Interns must also complete onboarding requirements, including orientation and required training, before beginning their placement.
