College Internship Program

Mission

Rockdale County Parks & Recreation strives to provide an internship program to establish a beneficial relationship and growth opportunity for Rockdale County and collegiate students in their respective fields. This program is intended to enhance and to accomplish our goal of providing relevant and diverse family, arts and cultural programming.

Philosophy and Purpose of Parks & Recreation Internship Program

Internships provide an opportunity to explore occupational fields related to majors and career goals. Parks & Recreation’s program is set-up to guide students through intentional and hands-on learning objectives and performance evaluations. The experience should complement and enhance classroom learning while creating links between the college and the world of work. This program is intended to invest in an important community resource: the student. Our goal is to assist with every intern’s personal growth, career, skill and leadership development and cross-cultural awareness.
