You will be asked to fill out a volunteer application and attend a general orientation session. The Volunteer Coordinator will then contact the department that has a job description which interests you. You will be contacted by that supervisor for another interview. This interview will cover policies and procedures specific to your job duties. It will also give you and the supervisor a chance to determine if you are right for the placement.
Training is provided, as needed.
The Leon County Volunteer Services Internship Program provides local area college students with hands-on experience in a public sector work environment. Students who participate in the internship program are placed in a county agency for an academic semester. Prior to placement, students receive a personal interview and program orientation from the internship program coordinator. Students who need to complete community volunteer service hours, but who are not required to complete a full internship, are also welcome to participate in this program. The internship program coordinator maintains a complete listing of internship positions in the county, and will work with the student to match skills and areas of interest.
