2023 Georgia County Internship Program Grant Recipients Selected

Forty-nine internships were selected by the Georgia County Internship Program Review Committee in February to receive grant funding from the ACCG Civic Affairs Foundation for the summer of 2023. Grant award winners can be viewed here. These grants will provide internship opportunities in GIS, law, communications, environmental management, transportation, planning, and other county departments in 26 counties throughout the state.

 

In addition to the general grants provided through the Foundation, there are two specialty grants that are awarded each year. The Kundell Environmental Management Internship Grant, created by the Foundation in honor of the late Dr. Jim Kundell, has been awarded for four internships in Chatham, McDuffie, Jasper, and Pike counties. These internships will include GIS projects for water distribution systems, manholes, and sewer lines,  projects for Keep Jasper Beautiful, and septic system education and awareness. The Garner Health and Human Service Internship, created by the Foundation in honor of late Fulton County Commissioner Joan Garner, has been awarded to Chatham County to develop Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility to foster the county’s diversity goals.

 

GCIP internships are available to high school students 16 years of age or older who are dually enrolled in college classes, college students, and recent college graduates. Internship grants cover the cost of a 200-hour internship at the rate of $12 per hour. For more information about the GCIP, please visit www.accg.org/caf_index.php.
