We are now accepting applications for the ‘25/’26 school year.
Please carefully read the information below before submitting an application. Email izzyl@stepsvt.org if you have any questions.
Steps to End Domestic Violence does not provide compensation for internships. Interns may receive academic credit for their time, as long as it is pre-approved by the interested student’s academic advisor and will fulfill their school’s specific requirements. Interns are assigned a supervisor within the organization to help with scheduling, duties and projects, plus educational and skill-building opportunities.
Please note that Steps to End Domestic Violence is not able to provide supervision by a social worker, which is a requirement of many social work internship placements. If you need an internship for your BSW or MSW program, please double check your program requirements before submitting an application.
If you are accepted into the internship program, you will be required to attend our August Community Advocate Training. For the 25/26 school year, these dates are 8/13 (6-9pm), 8/16 (10-4pm), and 8/17 (12-6pm). Attendance at all three sessions is required in order to earn Crisis Worker Privilege, which allows you to hold service user information confidential under most circumstances and is required to have before you begin interning at Steps.
Shelter Resource Intern
The Shelter Resource Intern ensures that our emergency shelter is a positive and enriching environment for the families who stay there.

Please note that in order to be an effective placement, this internship requires a minimum time commitment of 12 hours per week (M-F, between 8 am and 5 pm).
To apply for internships, please email your resume and a completed application to izzyl@stepsvt.org. If you will be completing an internship for academic credit, please also include a document that outlines your program requirements for the internship.
