This consensual qualitative research (CQR) study explored the group leadership supervisory experiences of (n = 10) school counseling internship students. Findings suggest the importance of fostering group leader advocacy skills and the need to assess students’ group leadership supervisory experiences during fieldwork placement. Implications for counselor educators and supervisors are discussed.
