Anyone who knows a bright student who would like to gain hands-on experience in municipal government should share this information. The 2024 Internship Program was a huge success, and this year will be even better.

• Must have a minimum GPA of 3.0
• May be a Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 graduate
• Must demonstrate a strong work ethic, commitment to community, sense of responsibility, and academic performance
Interns will work 30 hours per week, Monday through Friday from 9am to 4pm, and will be compensated for their participation.
Interested applicants must submit the following materials:
• Completed application
• Resume
• Letter of interest
• Two letters of recommendation (with contact information)
• Official college transcripts (sent directly from the institution)
All application packets must be received by 4pm on April 25. Incomplete applications or those that do not meet the eligibility criteria by the deadline will not be considered.
