Social Worker Internship with CUHSD

About the District

Campbell Union High School District, located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, is a small, close knit district committed to ensuring every student is ready for the future. We strive to be data-informed and focused on results while promoting humanity and personal responsibility. CUHSD is also proud to provide a supportive environment of collaboration among our staff and work to ensure positive school culture.

Our Schools

There are over 8,500 students enrolled in the Campbell Union High School District. The district is composed of five comprehensive high schools, a Continuation High School, a Post Secondary Program, and an Adult Education Program (CACE).

Our Mission

Our mission is to make our schools places where:

• Students are safe, supported, and valued
• Students develop knowledge, skills, and confidence
• Students are engaged, challenged, and prepared

Our Guiding Principles

• We focus on equity to provide all students what they need to be successful
• We have high expectations of ourselves and students
• We do not give up when things get hard
• We are accountable for continuous improvement
• We leave our comfort zones to create new possibilities

Social Worker Intern Program

We currently have Board approval for up to $2,000 per semester for Social Worker interns. Once the budgeted cap has been reached, the District will still support unpaid internships for qualified candidates based on site need and capacity. For paid internships, the candidate will receive funds at the end of the semester to ensure services were provided throughout.

Internship Process

The process to become a school counseling intern with our District includes:

• Candidates submit an application.
• Pending need, candidates may be contacted by a Human Resources representative or site administrator.
• If a mutual fit between a candidate and CUHSD has been confirmed with the Principal, the Human Resources department will confirm that there is an active Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the candidate's program.
• If there is an active MOU, the candidate will be sent a packet to get cleared for service as a Social Worker Intern.
• If there is NOT an active MOU, a Human Resources representative will initiate the process with the candidate's Field Placement Coordinator. This process includes reviewing and confirming terms of the agreement, followed by Board approval, and formally signing the agreement.
• Once the candidate has been cleared, the site administrator lead will be notified and details finalized.
