Thank you for your interest in working for HDA as part of our 2026 Summer Internship! We look forward to meeting you.

Once you’ve submitted the form, someone from our agency will contact you soon to set up an interview. Keep in mind that this is an 8-week paid internship, and HDA will select only three interns from the counties we serve in Eastern Kentucky (Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, and Perry). Priority is given to those who have been in the foster care system. You must be 18 years old to apply.

For more information about the program and the requirements for applying, please visit this page. 

If you have questions or need assistance with the form, please call us at 606-436-0497 or email our Internship Director.
