Family Service Agency of the Central Coast.
In short
Is Family Service Agency's MFT/AMFT internship paid?
No - the organization explicitly calls it volunteer and unpaid; group supervision and training are included
Unpaid; Tuesday supervision and first-year trainingSanta Cruz & Soquel · extended Bay Area — what the organization is, what its own site publishes about clinical training, and the questions to bring. Every fact below was read from a fetched page on the date above, and each one links the page it came from. Nothing here says what is available today — sites change; the organization answers that.

What it is
The organization, from its own site.
A Central Coast nonprofit providing outpatient counseling, 988 crisis services, suicide prevention, mobile crisis response, senior services and survivor support from Santa Cruz County sites.
Its site: fsa-cc.org.
What its site publishes about training
A program its own pages describe.
Each statement below is what the organization’s own site said on 20 August 2026, with the page it said it on. A program existing on a page is not a seat existing today — the page is where you check.
Its internships page publishes a program for graduate trainees, AMFTs, APCCs and ASWs and says most interns remain until completing hours. The page that says so →
The program includes group supervision, training, intakes and client hours; individual supervision is offered “as needed.” Tuesday group supervision runs 8:00–10:00 a.m., followed by first-year training from 10:15–11:45. The page that says so →
The organization explicitly labels the internship a volunteer, unpaid opportunity, with some reimbursement for professional-development expenses. Applications are accepted throughout the year. The page that says so →
Before you write to anyone
The three questions that protect your hours.
A trainee cannot count hours from a private practice or a professional corporation — § 4980.43.3 draws that line, and the trainee rules page walks all seven of the rules that decide whether a placement counts. A registered associate has a wider map; both start from the same three questions: who signs the supervision paperwork and on what schedule, which settings the hours would come from, and — for a trainee — whether your program’s site agreement exists yet, because § 4980.42 puts that agreement on your school, not on you.
The whole search method — whose job the search is, the order that saves cycles, and the paper trail to keep — is on the how-to-find-a-practicum-site page. This profile is one shelf of it; the full Bay Area shelves are the practicum-sites directory and the associate-employers directory.
