Join Richmond Parks & Recreation this summer for an exciting internship or job opportunity! Our department manages 19 parks/recreation facilities, runs over 250 events annually, hosts multiple summer camps, and works with dozens of community partners each year to fulfill our goal of making Richmond a fun place to live, grow, and play.
We offer a wide variety of internship and seasonal job opportunities each year, and love to adapt our opportunities to your particular interests or passions! We have small, tight knit staff that loves working with young professionals (like you!) to give hands-on experience in the field. We also conduct a weekly “Workshop Wednesday” for interns with professional and career information. We even have a limited amount of free housing available within walking distance of our office for our interns!
If you are interested in one of our internship opportunities, want more information, or want to discuss a customized opportunity of some kind, please don’t hesitate to reach out! You can contact us via the contact details listed in our profile.
Our mission is as follows:
The Richmond Parks and Recreation department provides for the positive development and well being of the Richmond community through the provision of parks, greenways, trails and recreational programming and facilities while working in cooperation with other service providers and partners in the community to maximize all available resources.
