At the Pro Bono Counseling Project’s inception in 1991, its founders recognized the critical need to care for a segment of Maryland’s citizens who, without the benefit of health insurance, were denied necessary resources and access to quality mental health care. Through contributions in time and expertise from our licensed clinicians, grants from numerous organizations and foundations, generous support from all our PBCP friends, and the efforts of a talented and dedicated PBCP staff, thousands of men, women, children, and families in Maryland have received the care and healing that underscores the dignity of all, and the mission of PBCP.

Internships
The Pro Bono Counseling Project offers two different internship experiences—one that is clinical and designed to give undergraduate and graduate level psychology, professional counseling and social work students experience in conducting intake interviews and assessments of clients' presenting needs and documenting some case management.
Another internship opportunity is designed for public health and health policy majors. This experience may vary from following health care legislation through the Maryland General Assembly; and/or providing outreach and education throughout Maryland for government and civic organizations that recognize the need for mental health care for their constituents; and/or conducting research and evaluation relating to the Pro Bono Counseling Project’s many programs for single parents, military families, elderly men and women, victims of violence, families with cancer and caregivers.
The Pro Bono Counseling Project always welcomes inquiries about student internships. Please send resume and cover letter to Barbara K. Anderson at barbara@probonocounseling.org or call 1-877-323-5800 to learn when the next internship position will be available. Internships are usually one or two semesters in duration and are unpaid.
