What is a school counseling internship?

A school counseling internship is a supervised, practical training experience for graduate students pursuing a degree in school counseling. During the internship, students work in a school setting under the guidance of a licensed school counselor, gaining hands-on experience in counseling students, conducting assessments, and supporting academic, career, and social-emotional development. This experience is a critical part of counselor education programs and typically fulfills required hours for state certification or licensure. Interns learn to apply counseling theories and techniques, collaborate with teachers and parents, and understand the day-to-day responsibilities of a school counselor.

What responsibilities can I expect during a school counseling internship, and how closely will I work with students and staff?

During a school counseling internship, you can expect to engage in a variety of tasks such as observing and conducting individual and group counseling sessions, assisting with classroom guidance lessons, supporting crisis intervention, and participating in meetings with teachers and parents. Interns often collaborate closely with certified school counselors and other educational staff to address students' academic, social, and emotional needs. This hands-on experience allows you to build rapport with students, learn effective counseling strategies, and gain insight into the daily operations of a school counseling department.
