The City of Irvine seeks motivated high school juniors and seniors, and current college students for the 2026 City Council Summer Internship Program. This is an excellent opportunity for civic-minded students to work with City Councilmembers, perform research and analysis on a wide range of topics, and observe the efforts of local government.

Interns are expected to work 10 hours a week during the program period, June 22 - July 31.

Candidates will be evaluated on current area of study, work experience, interest in city government, and availability. Interviews for qualified candidates are tentatively scheduled the week of March 25.

The ideal candidates are self-motivated, professional, creative, with strong communication and writing skills. Candidates must be either a high school student entering the 11th or 12th grade, or a college student enrolled in an Associate's, Bachelor's or Master's degree program, in Fall, 2026. A minimum grade point average of 3.3 is preferred.
