Social Work Fieldwork Mentorship Program

Foothill College has a NEW Social Work Degree Program!

We are seeking Field Placement Mentors to provide direct field work for our talented and enthusiastic students.

About You

Do you work in a Social Work or Human Services related community organization, agency, or institution? Are you passionate about working with college students and helping them build a successful career in Social Work or Human Services related fields?

We need your help!

We are seeking your help to supervise/mentor students' field experience - allowing our students to apply knowledge and learn new skills outside of the classroom environment - all while supporting your organization!

What it looks like

Supervised fieldwork to a Foothill Social Work student entails observing, practicing, and developing their skills at your agency for 3 hours per week during the Spring 2025 term: Monday, April 7–Friday, June 20, 2025.

At the end, you will complete a survey of the student’s competencies after the supervisory/mentorship period.

How to Apply!
