Professional Internships at Sanctuary

Join us to make a difference

Sanctuary for Families offers a dynamic training ground for social work and law students, along with a variety of internship opportunities across multiple departments and disciplines. Interns play a vital role in supporting our teams agency-wide, gaining hands-on experience while contributing to our mission. We welcome both undergraduate and graduate students to apply, with internships available throughout the year based on organizational needs.

At this time, internships are in-person or hybrid. Please contact us at volunteer@sffny.org with any questions.
