JOB REQUIREMENTS: The goal of Catholic Charities’ Child Welfare Program
is to increase healthy birth outcomes among at-risk, low-income families
by helping individuals develop tools for good decision making.
Supporting expectant parents as they carefully explore all their options
and make a thoughtful and appropriate plan for their baby, whether it is
an adoption plan or a parenting plan. Program staff are committed to
being the support system through the mother and child’s journey but are
also inclusive of providing that support to the father’s journey whose
engagement directly affects healthy birth outcomes. Additionally,
program staff can continue to serve in their support role to clients
through the first year of the child’s life. The Child Welfare Intern
will work alongside Pregnancy and Parenting Support Case Managers and
the Adoption Social Worker to provide in-home and community-based
support, education, and access to resources for pregnant and parenting
people. Interns will gain experience in case management, support and
education of pregnant women and their families, resource connection and
referral, outreach and community building, and ethical decision making.
When adoption program experience is available, the Intern may gain
experience in multiple aspects of the private adoption process,
including counseling expectant parents, completing legal processes,
conducting potential adoptive family home studies, and conducting
post-placement visits with children whose parents have made adoption
plans. Internship Requirements: Junior or Senior standing, pursing a
