Description

The City of Citrus Heights is seeking motivated and enthusiastic Interns and Management Interns to gain hands-on experience in local government administration and contribute to meaningful projects that support the City's operations and the community we serve.

This is an excellent opportunity for a current college student or recent graduate interested in public administration, government, business administration, law enforcement, human resources, sustainability, community development, economic development, general services, or a related field. The Intern/Management Intern will work closely with City leadership and staff across multiple departments and will have the opportunity to learn how a municipal organization operates.

The ideal candidate is curious, analytical, organized, collaborative, and eager to learn. This position is designed to provide exposure to a broad range of governmental functions while allowing the intern to take ownership of assigned projects.

This is a temporary, part-time position limited to a maximum of 960 hours per fiscal year. This position is not eligible for benefits beyond those required by law. Hours will vary depending upon the position and department assigned. The City currently has paid and unpaid (volunteer) positions available. For paid positions, placement is dependent upon qualifications (see the Minimum Qualifications section below). The current pay rate for paid positions is as follows:
