CASA Interns

Interns at Athens-Oconee CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) learn valuable information about the juvenile court system, DFCS policies, and advocacy for children in foster care. They work under the supervision of our Program and Advocacy Coordinators by attending community meetings, court hearings, and planning program events.

This Internship provides support to the SafeCare Home Visitor. Duties involve clerical and service

such as CASA or Family Time. The internship is approximately 5 -10 hours per week, but can
expand to 20 hours per week if desired.

The social media intern will be responsible for managing and maintaining the Children First website and blog, Facebook, and Twitter pages along with any other social media initiatives that may be utilized. In addition, the intern will be responsible for pitching relevant stories, drafting press releases, and creating marketing plans for agency events. Ideally, the intern would work approximately 10 hours per week, with one office visit to Children First, Inc. headquarters. Some hours may be evenings and weekends. Although this is an unpaid internship, we will be willing to work towards class credit.

This internship provides opportunities to interact one on one with clients. Interns will also be involved in program maintenance and decision making. The intern will also have interaction with the other Children First programs in a support role. This internship is flexible on time but can be between 10-24 hours a week.
