In an effort to provide positive human services work experience, reduce stigma, widen horizons, and enrich the environment for individuals served, GHS would like to offer paid internships to a select number of students this summer.  ***Please note: in addition to shadowing in various behavioral health programs throughout the agency, our GTF interns regularly help out with a variety of agency activities, including the GHS Community Garden, Consumer Dance, Consumer Picnic, Family Fun Day, GCHC events, etc. These activities are REQUIRED.

Your application must include the following:

• A cover letter that includes your full name, address, phone number, and email address. Indicate whether you are related to any current or former GHS employee.
• A résumé showing all prior and current work experience including previous GHS internships. Returning students may be considered, depending on the number of qualified applicants.
• A double-spaced, typed essay (limited to two pages with one-inch margins and no more than 500 words) addressing your specific interest in the behavioral health field and how a summer internship at GHS will help to advance your career goals.
• An OFFICIAL college transcript (bearing the college seal). This can be mailed or sent electronically directly from the university. Unofficial documents will not be accepted.
• A letter of recommendation by a professor or (college) academic counselor. The letter should be in a signed, sealed envelope or emailed to [email protected] directly from the professor or counselor.

If selected you are expected to attend GHS orientation from 8am – 5pm on Monday, May 19, 2025.
