intern with trustee carpanzano

---

We are searching for a SUMMER INTERN  to learn and shadow Village of Bolingbrook Trustee Michael Carpanzano.  This un-paid internship (yes, sorry) will give a local high school student a chance to experience Bolingbrook through the lens of a elected official all Summer long!

Requirements:

• Eager to Learn + Positive Attitude
• High School Student
• Parent / Guardian Support + Permission
• Bolingbrook Resident
• An interest in government, political science, community relations, or non-profit advocacy.
• Is okay with being outside, a lot of fun events during the Summer in Bolingbrook are outdoors!
• Has (or will be able to find) transportation to get to places like The Promenade Bolingbrook, Bolingbrook Town Center (Village Hall), the Bolingbrook Golf Club, and more. Unfortunately, for liability and safety / security reasons Trustee Carpanzano cannot transport the student in his personal vehicle.
• Fills out this application (alongside their parent or guardian)

The intern will get to experience:

• Community Events (i.e. festivals, concerts, service organization events, etc.)
• Local Non-Profit Fundraisers
• New Business Ribbon Cuttings
• Official Village Board Meetings
• ... and so much more!

Perks:

• Trustee Carpanzano will cover any admission expenses for any events, fundraisers for the intern.
• Happy to sign off on community service hours for any potential school or scholarship requirements.
• After a successful and satisfactory completion of the internship, Trustee Carpanzano will draft a letter of recommendation for the student.
• Build lasting connections and relationships with other local community leaders, elected officials, business owners, and more!
• Have fun and experience what Summer in Bolingbrook has to offer!

The application is due by 04.22.23. The selected volunteer Summer Intern would be notified by the middle of May. Then, during the months of June and July would be paired with Trustee Carpanzano on a mutually agreed upon light schedule (mostly community event-based).  The goal here is two to four hours a week at most, with incredible flexibility.

Please note, this is NOT an official Village of Bolingbrook sponsored internship.  This is simply a chance for local youth to engage civically with an elected official and learn about the importance of community involvement and community support.  Depending on community response and applications received, we may be able to offer more than one spot.  This is our first year doing this, so this initial internship will act as a framework for the future.

If you have specific questions, please contact Michael Carpanzano via this contact information.
