Internship Opportunities


Welcome, prospective UCAN interns:

UCAN welcomes the opportunity to be a part of
your professional growth and development
in the field of social service.

We also welcome the opportunity for you
to share your fresh perceptions, enthusiasm, and talent
on behalf of the children and families of Chicago.

I was so grateful for the vast learning opportunities with supportive supervisions and trainings. I could learn about the impact of trauma on abused children, effective therapeutic interventions, and how to be a good team worker.

There were so numerous possible areas for personal growth and development that I could not summarize in a word, but I definitely deepened my knowledge on social service system, healing power of relationship, and people's strengths.
