East Aldine District Internship

The East Aldine Management District created the Internship Program with the goal of providing college students an opportunity to experience first-hand how local governmental organizations cooperate with each other and leverage available resources to best serve their constituents.

The program is aimed at college level students with degree plans focusing on business management, political science, or a closely related field. Any student selected to be an intern will work with District staff to learn the processes involved in working with governmental agencies including, but not limited to writing meeting agendas and minutes, board selection processes, county procedures, and community resource leveraging.

It is designed to begin in tandem with the summer semester and students will have the opportunity to continue their internship through the fall and spring semester of each year. Interns will be expected to fulfill part-time hours (20 hours per week) in the District office with flexible scheduling so as not to impede any scholarly responsibilities. The internship is for 16 weeks.

The program shall be managed by the District staff appointed by the Executive Director. Interns
shall be evaluated on a monthly basis with weekly opportunities to express any challenges
present. The manager is expected to address any intern concerns and to resolve any confusion or misunderstandings in a timely manner.

Interns will be compensated for their time and work earning a semester stipend in the amount of $6,500.00, determined by the Board of Directors every Fiscal Year.
