Offering Service Internship

OFFERING SERVICE INTERNSHIPS TO STUDENT INTERNS

• Do not offer service internships to more student interns than you can easily accommodate.

• Agree on a consistent weekly schedule with the student intern (as per requirements in previous section).

• Ensure you assign enough direct service hours (min 60% of service hours; see Direct vs Indirect Service in Service Hour Requirements section).

• Begin background/fingerprinting process right away (if applicable).

• Ensure student interns can begin service by start dates listed in previous section.

• Assign USL-certified (has completed required Orientation) supervisor (see Assigned Supervisor Responsibilities section).

• Once all details are agreed upon, instruct student intern to submit the Internship Confirmation Form (see GivePulse: Required Forms section).

• If you interview a student intern who is not the right fit, please inform the student intern that you are not able to accommodate them at this time. You may wish them luck on other internship interviews and/or refer them to USL coordinators.
