An internship with Communities in Schools of Hidalgo County offers a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in social work and education. Interns work alongside Site Coordinators at local schools to provide services to at-risk students, helping them overcome barriers to success. Tasks may include case management, coordinating student activities, and supporting social-emotional learning. Interns from universities like UTRGV, Texas Tech, and others can develop skills in student engagement, mental health support, and community outreach while learning to implement the CIS model in real-world settings.
