What is a work study MFT?

Work Study MFT positions are roles designed for Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) students who participate in a work-study program, often at a university or college. These positions typically provide practical experience in counseling, research, or administrative tasks related to mental health services while allowing students to earn financial aid through part-time work. The experience gained helps students develop professional skills, fulfill internship requirements, and build their resumes for future licensure and employment. Work Study MFT roles can vary, including assisting licensed therapists, conducting workshops, or supporting academic projects. Eligibility and job duties may differ by institution.
