There are many places you can find psychology internships for high school students. For example, if you have networks with actual Psychologists, ask around and see if they can be apart of an experiment, however, there are times where it can be rough to find Therapists or Psychiatrists as their practices are more confidential. Fortunately the research side has many opportunities. For starters, high school students may look at the Psychology department of Universities they want to attend to and work with a psychology professor.

You may find what you need in www.skylandtrail.org. I talked to a man that works there and he told me that they may accept High School students for Psychology Internship.
The best way to find this out would be to contact school guidance officers and they will be able to lead you in the right path.
If there are hospitals near you, you could likely ask to intern in their psychiatric wards. If there are universities or colleges near you, you might be able to be involved with some of the student's research or intern with a professor.

Google helps? General searching of the internet, speaking to people in the field. Psychology sounds fun!

I don't know. That is not within the scope of my abilities. I just don't know how to get to 100 characters.

I think you should talk to your parents, teachers, counselors, trusted friends, or a trusted person online!
try to talk to a principal in your school and try to look out if your school have one at least okey?
Unfortunately, with hippy guidelines,most spy theology internships are limited to college of grad school

I'm sure 7cupsoftea offers an internship of the sort as well? You can find out more here https://www.7cups.com/communities/internships/
Contact your local Psychology community for references of practitioners you could contact. I am sure they are happy to help.

Many places! Community outreach, restorative justice, Big Brothers Big Sisters, etc. Try consulting with your school counselor (if one is available) and they can directly set you up with their connections in the field to get you started. Once you have been volunteering for at least a year, you can also look up "Behaviour Intervention" -- specifically ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysis) and look for jobs in this area while you are taking Psychology in University.
Non-profit counseling organizations in individual states are always asking for more volunteers. Many offer internships to current psychology students.
Mostly library, and internet. So many places on the internet to go for information. Or even chat rooms where others are studying the same thing. The internet is full of information. The library also has many books on this subject to study. Or you could even make a conversation about it to others to bring up information.
call local psychologists to see if they are taking interns. try www.indeed.com as well. Good luck!
yes it is minimum 8 week on-line program.You can get information by going to website about option, graduate undergraduate intern ship program .

As Far as I know 7 cups of tea provides internship for Graduate & Undergraduate students. You should give it a try.
I don't think so. There are only internships for college level students, I think. But please feel free to email Laura or the 7 Cups community!

Yes it does. 7Cups can help high school students. If you're in high school and are having troubles with anything,this place is a great place to come.
Its great to ask this question; I am currently interning with 7 Cups; 7 Cups does indeed offer internship opportunities for those involved in the social science and human services field, both for graduate and undergraduates:) 7 Cups would be pleased to have you as part of their intern team, dont hesitate; good luck if you choose to engage.
I would love to know the details to this please. I am seeking a mentor on this page to help me grow as a listener and a person. People are noticing i am talented at this and i would love to improve, although i have no formal education in psychology. I want to be better at helping people, somebody help me please. P.S. You can apply for internship on this site, but i am not familiar with the details.

I happen to know phycological study's, I wish that I would have don't an internship with 7 cups before I started with them. However the training we are offered is brilliant.
It looks like the internships are only for college and graduate school students. If volunteering is something you're interested in, starting out at a nursing home can be a great way of getting some experience with a population with a variety of psychological concerns.

i think it does,it is closely connected with problems high school students of that school have and is a good practise.
Not yet, the idea is in development so it's certainly worth keeping a look out in the forums if you are the correct age.
