Intern - Community Corrections

The intern position requires an individual who is responsible, organized, and versatile. Having computer skills, a willingness to learn and the ability to work in a fast paced environment is a plus. While an effort is made to expose the intern to a variety of skills needed to be successful in the criminal justice field, many of the intern's tasks will consist of assisting Case Managers (CM) with the day-to-day functions of their caseloads.

• Agency hours for interns are Monday – Friday from 8:00 am-4:30 pm

• Your internship schedule will be based around your class schedule. We will work with interns throughout the year.

• Our agency observes major holidays each calendar year.

• The internship position is an unpaid position.

• The intern would be expected to work at least 8 hours each week

• This is an unpaid internship but eligible for college credit

Intern responsibilities are to assist the CM with day-to-day functions of their caseload. These functions include but are not limited to: Court attendance, office visits, documentation/data entry, filing, employment verification, case planning, coordinating treatment referrals, monitoring treatment compliance, returning client phone calls, intake duties, and other duties as deemed appropriate by the supervisor. All functions would be carried out under the supervision of a seasoned CM and/or the supervisor of the Component. Additional assistance, if needed, may come from Deputy Directors within the agency and/or additional Supervisors within the agency.

Requirements for conducting office visits:

• Before conducting an office visit on their own, an intern must observe a minimum of ten (10) office visits with a CM.

• Must be familiar with the case management database and how to document notes in the system.

• Must be able to explain to the supervising CM the purpose of the office visits and what information is to be obtained.

• Upon conducting five (5) successful office visits under the supervision of the CM, the intern may conduct office visits on their own.

Expected outcomes for the intern are that they will be familiar with Community Corrections and the supervision components by the end of the internship experience. They will be familiar with caseload functions, contact standards and procedures, as listed above, and the various electronic monitoring options/equipment.

Must be a current college student and at least 18+ years old. Any conviction of a misdemeanor or felony must be disclosed prior to beginning an internship with MCCC. All persons with a criminal conviction will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
