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 Advocacy Coordinators by attending community meetings, court hearings, and planning program events. CASA accepts interns for Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

Family Time interns are primarily responsible for the coordination and documentation of supervised visitation services after receiving referrals from DFCS and private pay individual. If you have a passion for direct work with families and an interest in early childhood development, Family Time accepts hardworking and eager interns on a rolling basis. 

This Internship provides support to the SafeCare Home Visitor. Duties involve clerical and service support, child development research, creating service plans for families, and other projects as assigned. Other projects may be related to SafeCare, or may be for other Children First programs such as CASA or Family Time. 

The public relations / social media intern will be responsible for creating and implementing a media plan to raise awareness about Children First, Inc. and recruit new volunteers. Tasks include pitching relevant stories, drafting press releases, PSAs and other public relations tasks. The intern is also responsible for managing and maintaining the program websites, blog, and Facebook pages along with any other social media accounts. The intern would work approximately 10 hours per week, with at least 1 office hour weekly at Children First, Inc. headquarters. 

Information Technology interns assist our program in managing our office hardware, software, and websites on an as-needed basis. If you have skills you are eager to share, please contact us for more information. This internship will be largely ad hoc as projects arise and tech support is needed.
