Internship Program

Thank you for your interest in an internship with the Clayton County Parks and Recreation Department.  We offer an educational work experience that is beneficial to students working in a parks and recreation setting.  This setting provides internship opportunities in Park Services, Recreation Services, Enterprise Services, and Open Space/Green Space Operations.  Internships are offered for a twelve-week period, traditionally in the late spring and summer months.  Applicants should be at least a junior, working towards an applicable degree and be recommended by their college or university.

Internship Program Goals

• Provide the student an opportunity to combine theory and practice with his/her professional education by encouraging the exchange of insights between Clayton County Parks & Recreation (CCPRD) and the student.
• Provide the student an opportunity to expand his/her philosophy and understanding of the parks and recreation profession.
• Help the student gain an understanding and appreciation of the roles, duties and responsibilities of a full-time professional and the people they serve.
