The Local Government Academy (LGA) is excited to announce that project applications are now open for placement sites in the Municipal Intern Program! The Municipal Intern Program is a unique opportunity for municipalities to engage bright, enthusiastic students eager to gain real-world experience in local government. By offering internships, host municipalities not only contribute to the professional development of these students, but also build municipal capacity, helping their community complete projects otherwise difficult to dedicate resources to. Eligible placement sites include municipalities, councils of governments, and municipal authorities in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and Act 47 designated municipalities located in Western Pennsylvania. The Program provides a reimbursement grant to cover a portion of the intern’s wages. The deadline to apply to become a host site is December 3, 2024. Below, please find the 2025 Municipal Placement Guidelines for the program. Once you have reviewed these guidelines, you may find the application to the program linked here: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/9auAjctuCiJAA23NIQdDTQ
