Applications Now Open For Evergreen Park Summer Internships

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — Applications for the Village of Evergreen Park summer internship program are now being accepted for its annual summer internship program. This opportunity provides students with hands-on experience and insight into the workings of local government and will give them resources to help further their careers.

The program is open to freshman, sophomore, or junior undergraduate students interested in political science, public administration, history, finance, or other similar areas of study who are Evergreen Park residents. Interns will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects in the areas of planning and community development, environmental issues, community engagement, and events and recreation.

“We are thrilled to offer this program once again, and look forward to welcoming a new cohort of talented and motivated interns,” Mayor Kelly Burke said in a news release. “Our interns have the chance to make a real impact in the community, and we are excited to see what this year’s group will accomplish.”

The interns will work part-time for seven weeks over the summer. They will also have access to a variety of professional development opportunities, including field trips and hearing from guest speakers. Applications can be found here.

To apply, interested students should submit the completed internship application, essay, and a reference from an academic or professional contact by April 3. Applications can be dropped off at Village Hall at 9418 S. Kedzie during business hours or emailed to Heather Kokodynsky, HR Director at hkokodynsky@evpkadm.org. Applicants will be reviewed by a selected group of community volunteers.
