Job Description

Looking for a meaningful summer job? Get paid while making a real impact.

People Inc. is offering a paid summer internship for motivated students interested in gaining hands-on experience supporting people with developmental disabilities. This is a great opportunity for students exploring careers in healthcare, human services, psychology, education, or social work.

What You’ll Do:

As a summer DSP Intern, you’ll work alongside experienced staff to support people in their daily lives. Responsibilities may include:

  • Assisting people with daily routines and activities
  • Supporting community outings and social engagement
  • Encouraging independence and skill-building
  • Helping create a positive and inclusive environment
  • Building meaningful connections with people you support

Who This is for:

We are looking for students are

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Currently enrolled in high school (senior year) or college
  • Interested in helping others and making a difference
  • Reliable, compassionate, and willing to learn

Why This Internship Stands Out:

  • Flexible scheduling to fit summer availability
  • Hands-on, real-world experience
  • Great addition to your resume
  • Opportunity to explore a rewarding career path
  • Potential to stay on in a part-time or full-time role after summer ends.

Schedule:

  • Seasonal (May- August)
  • Day, evenings, and weekend shifts available

Rate of Pay: $19
