May 4, 2022

The City of Jamestown offers a unique and exciting opportunity to students and recent graduates to be introduced to the functions of City Government through an insider’s view of how cities operate and serve residents. Interns will perform a variety of tasks which may include policy research and development, drafting memoranda, community engagement, outreach and education, administrative tasks, and legal research and analysis.

The goal of the program is to introduce college and university students to the many aspects of municipal government through public policy and management.

Prospective interns shall be undergraduate students, graduate students, or recent graduates of a two- or four-year college, university, or vocational school. Ideal candidates must communicate well, display a record of academic achievement, demonstrate a commitment to public service, and be able to work in a fast-paced environment. Candidates shall also maintain a high standard of ethics and integrity.

Intern hours vary by department. Candidates must be able and willing to work a minimum of 15 hours per week.
