The ICYJ Summer Internship Program places students in work-focused situations or work-based settings so that they obtain the skills and practical experience necessary to become market aligned and succeed right out of school. 

The internship program is a carefully designed 6-week experience where students focus on observing and learning from all of the key stakeholders that operate within a youth justice system in a particular jurisdiction.
