Covenant House International is the largest privately funded agency in the Americas providing shelter and other services to homeless, runaway and throwaway youth. In addition to food, shelter, clothing and crisis care, Covenant House provides a variety of services to homeless youth including healthcare, education, vocational preparation, drug abuse treatment and prevention programs, legal services, recreation, mother/child programs, transitional living programs, street outreach and aftercare.
Designed for high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students, Covenant House's Headquarters Internship Program offers accepted applicants the opportunity to experience first-hand the workings of a major not-for-profit organization. As the largest privately-funded agency serving homeless youth in the Americas, Covenant House invites a select group of students into the world of a major not-for-profit as they form project teams and drive strategic initiatives that are central to the organization's success. In areas ranging from human resources to strategic planning, and from program development to marketing strategy, Covenant House invites the best and the brightest to come, not merely to observe, but to join us as active and trusted members of our International Headquarters team in the battle against youth homelessness.
