The Town of Brownsburg will begin accepting applications for its 2026 summer internship program in February. This annual initiative provides college students and recent graduates the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in local government.
Internships are available within the Parks and Communications departments, offering unique exposure to municipal operations from May through August.
“The biggest thing I’ve learned from this internship is managing a big staff,” said 2025 Youth Services Intern Braden Wood. “It’s helped me build leadership skills and confidence in a professional setting.”
Interns assist with a variety of projects tailored to their areas of study or interest. Previous participants have helped plan community events, create public communications, and support park programs throughout the summer.
“One project I was tasked with was creating a vegetation plan for a space at Virgil Park,” said 2025 Natural Resources Intern Thomas Wallbank. “It was exciting to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom to something that will directly benefit the community.”
The program emphasizes both professional development and community impact, giving interns the opportunity to see their work make a tangible difference.
“It’s a very rewarding job,” said 2025 Recreation Intern Madison Laatz. “You get to see the process from start to finish—how people interact, have fun, and create memories. It makes for such a fun and fulfilling summer experience.”
In addition to gaining valuable workplace experience, interns are encouraged to engage with the Brownsburg community through service projects, events, and department collaborations.
“I am walking away with a renewed passion for public service and community relations,” said 2025 Communications Intern Sarah Pawlowski. “The employees at [Brownsburg] have shown me what it’s like to be truly driven by your passions and committed to the people you serve. I was lucky to be part of such an energetic team!”
