Internship Opportunity

It is our goal that interns with Todd-Wadena Community Corrections gain experience in all aspects of juvenile and adult probation services during their semester. The internship is designed to be a “hands on” active learning approach to the field of Corrections. Interns will be exposed to the many different duties corrections staff perform on a daily basis. This may include supervising adult and/or juvenile clients, writing investigative reports to the Court, performing drug testing, learning Courtroom procedures, assisting with field visits, etc.

In most cases, interns are scheduled to work 40 hours each week for a total of 400 hours (unless otherwise approved). Interns must be willing to abide by the professional ethics of the field of Corrections. This includes maintaining confidentiality of records and of information learned about a client, except as authorized or mandated for the sharing of that information with designated persons. All interns and volunteers should be aware that the intern or volunteer can be terminated at any time for unacceptable performance or failing to follow the signed contract. These are not paid positions.

Interested students should complete the application and submit it along with a cover letter and resume to the Director. Interviews will be scheduled and students will be advised of their acceptance following completion of a background check.
