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.
Past & Current Internship Sites:
  • Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court (Fairfax, Virginia)
  • Alexandria Department of Juvenile Justice (Alexandria, Virginia)
  • The Juvenile Probation Office for Lancaster County in (Lincoln, Nebraska)

  • Juvenile Court Services, King County Superior Court (Seattle, Washington)
  • Shelby County Youth & Family Resource Center (Memphis, Tennessee)
  • Cobb County Juvenile Court Services (Marietta, Georgia)

The ICYJ provides a scholarship to reimburse students for internship-associated costs, such as food, rent, tuition for the required summer internship course, transportation, etc.
