Child Life Internship Program

Thank you for your interest in the Child Life Internship Program of Children's Hospitals and Clinics. We have two main campuses, one in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul. Each campus offers a full time (40 hour/week) 14-week placement to undergraduate students in their senior year. We also accept post-graduate students and those in Master's programs.

Our application deadlines and process follow the recommendations of the Child Life Council:

You will not be notified upon receipt of your application. Use mail/shipping options if you require delivery confirmation.
