Internship, Neighbor Services

Description COMPANY OVERVIEW Focused on uplifting our neighbors toward long-term sustainability, Feeding Tampa Bay nourishes human potential by providing access to food and then leveraging that access to connect those we serve with empowering resources. At Feeding Tampa Bay, we are on a united path to transform our community. We thoughtfully drive change while embracing and celebrating our collective impact, as well as the impact of each individual. Through our Grow Code, we strive to honor all, conquer together, be imaginist, speak with truth, and stay rooted in the mission of Feeding Tampa Bay.

Summary

Feeding Tampa Bay’s Neighbor Services program helps with more than just food. We know that surrounding hunger is often challenged with meeting other basic needs, like finding adequate housing, understanding health care options, locating transportation help, or accessing services to support individuals and families. Our trained team cares about our community and works one-on-one to help neighbors navigate an often complicated social services system. We aim to empower our community to utilize resources and services that reduce challenges caused by financial crisis.

We equip neighbors with knowledge, resources, and opportunities to advance economic mobility, empowering neighbors to have a brighter, healthier future. Full-time and part-time placements are available depending on the intern’s degree program and educational requirements. Interns are expected to complete hours in-person under the supervision of their assigned MSW or Task Supervisor. Virtual and work-from-home opportunities are only available on a case-by-case basis with the prior approval of the student's supervisor.

JOB OVERVIEW Accepted applicants are placed into one of three internship tracks—Generalist, Workforce Development, or Macro Social Work—based on degree requirements and mutual agreement with the Field Supervisor.
