Clinical Placements
Our Placements
YWCA Greater Austin works cooperatively with colleges and universities to provide students impactful and inspiring real world experience.
Most of our masters-level interns are social work and counseling students. Students typically receive 15 hours of training, carry a case-load, complete intake assessments, attend individual and group supervision, conduct research and co-facilitate groups.
Our bachelor-level internships are more generalist and offers students the opportunity to develop case-management, advocacy, outreach, group facilitation, research, and administrative and planning skills.
We regularly collaborate with the University of Texas at Austin, St. Edward's University, Baylor University, Texas State University, and The University of Texas at San Antonio. We anticipate fostering relationships with other universities and colleges as students express an interest.
