Our Internship Program is currently full. We will be scheduling the next intern orientation in the summer/fall of 2025 so please check this site periodically. You must attend an orientation as a requirement and part of the application process. At the orientation, the program will be explained in depth, and you will be provided with applications. Please register by emailing Karla.Wade@santacruzcountyca.gov.
