Summer Treatment Program (STP) Internships

The CCF hires Undergraduate and Graduate Counselors, plus several Developmental Aides and Research Assistants for the STP each summer. The STP is for children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder (CD), or Oppositional-Defiant Disorder (ODD). The STP is conducted every summer. For more information, see STP Program Overview. Interns are compensated with either a stipend or academic course credit, which must be arranged by the student through his/her own university department or Florida International University prior to the beginning of the program. Florida International University currently offers credits for participating in the program. During the first week of the program, all employees will undergo intensive training conducted by the Center for Children and Families staff. The selection process is highly competitive and interested students are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
