Local Government Internship Program Host Applications are Now Open!

The LGMA is excited to announce that applications to host an intern through the Local Government Internship Program are now open! Local governments in BC with a population of 25,000 or under are eligible and can receive funding to provide hands-on work experience, professional development, and mentoring to successful interns for a 12-month period. Are you interested in building your organizational capacity while training and mentoring young professionals? Then this program is perfect for your organization!
 
Interns bring fresh ideas, creative solutions to challenges, and a willingness to learn about local government. LGMA will actively work with post-secondary institutions to promote local government careers and the internship opportunity to provide a slate of qualified interns for the host’s consideration. Interns will start their internship in May – June 2025. The host application deadline is October 29, so don’t miss this exciting opportunity! For more information about host applications, see the LGMA Internship Webpage.
 
Thank you to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for providing financial support for this project, and to the Northern Development Initiative Trust for partnering with the LGMA to deliver the Northern internship position.
