SAMPLE COVER LETTER FOR INTERNSHIP Job Sought: Degree: Experience: Youth Counselor B.A. Psychology, in Progress 3 months, plus coursework 562 Arguello Street #3 San Francisco, CA 94117 August 22, 2012 Mr. Joseph Bowman Youth Services Director Harper Street Youth Services 1155 Harper Street San Francisco, CA 94109 Dear Mr. Bowman: I was intrigued by the position description for the Youth Counselor Intern position I found on your website a few days ago. As a junior Psychology major with a minor in Sociology at the University of San Francisco, I am very interested in developing skills to work effectively with high-risk adolescents and young adults. After graduation, I wish to pursue a career in social services working with a similar population. Both my educational background and summer work experience have prepared me for this internship opportunity. As a Psychology major, I have taken several courses with regard to child and adolescent development and issues related to counseling in multicultural environments. In addition, my coursework in sociology has exposed me to societal issues regarding poverty, homelessness, and factors that contribute to at-risk situations among youth. This past summer, I worked with the C.A.R.E. Camp program at USF, a camp designed to expose underrepresented youth, ages 10-15, to a college environment. As the Lead Camp Counselor, I motivated children to learn teamwork concepts, leadership skills, and organized a field trip for 48 campers to the San Francisco Zoo. Growing up in a bi-lingual/bi-cultural Spanish-speaking household has been both a challenging yet rewarding experience. I speak, read, and write Spanish fluently and would like to use my language skills to assist your clients. Currently, as the Vice President of External Relations for my student club, I have taken on responsibilities that require me to be flexible, motivated, and responsible; I believe these skills would be very valuable to your organization. I have enclosed my resume for further review and would like to discuss my qualifications with you at an interview. The possibility of participating in this internship opportunity is very exciting and I look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you for your time and consideration.

skills to work effectively with high-risk adolescents and young adults. After graduation, I wish to pursue a career in social
services working with a similar population.
Both my educational background and summer work experience have prepared me for this internship opportunity. As a
Psychology major, I have taken several courses with regard to child and adolescent development and issues related to
counseling in multicultural environments. In addition, my coursework in sociology has exposed me to societal issues
regarding poverty, homelessness, and factors that contribute to at-risk situations among youth. This past summer, I worked
with the C.A.R.E. Camp program at USF, a camp designed to expose underrepresented youth, ages 10-15, to a college
environment. As the Lead Camp Counselor, I motivated children to learn teamwork concepts, leadership skills, and
organized a field trip for 48 campers to the San Francisco Zoo.
Growing up in a bi-lingual/bi-cultural Spanish-speaking household has been both a challenging yet rewarding experience. I
speak, read, and write Spanish fluently and would like to use my language skills to assist your clients. Currently, as the Vice
