LESD Intern Program

LESD serves as a Teaching Institute for the Susan Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at USC. We offer an internship program for bachelor and graduate level interns to gain invaluable, hands-on experience in Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT), Social Work,  and Counseling. 

The program is a partnership with the University of Southern California, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton, Loyola Marymount University and Vanguard University. For the past three consecutive years our program has received the following recognitions from the University of Southern California:
