The MORPC Local Government Summer Internship Program provides the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to obtain practical work experience with a local government within MORPCs 15-county region to prepare them for possible careers in public service. MORPC coordinates the recruitment and placement of students to match each hosts request; hosts make the final hiring decision and provide an hourly wage. Interns work for a host for a minimum of 16 hours to a maximum of 40 hours per week for a 10- to 14-week period, which means there are both part-time and full-time positions available. The summer 2026 internship program will begin on May 12th and will end on August 14th.


Interns gain applicable knowledge to enhance classroom learning by working with current government professionals throughout Central Ohio and acquire insights into the services provided by a regional planning commission. Interns also can attend monthly commission meetings as well as special MORPC-sponsored events and are paired with a MORPC staff member to serve as their mentor during the summer internship program.


Previous Communications/Marketing interns have gained experience using Adobe Suite (Audition, Premiere Pro, InDesign, and Illustrator specifically), Canva, CivicSend, Canto, Hootsuite, Meta Business Suite, UKG Ready, Microsoft 365, and other software programs on the job.

  • Preparing for, facilitating, and engaging with summer camps that serve over 100 local middle schoolers
  • Grant writing assistance
  • Activities related to event management/promotion/execution
  • Editing websites with current data and other duties as assigned
