What does an internship at the City of Milton really look like? It's more than meetings, coffee runs, and checking off assignments.
Host Christy Weeks sits down with Community Outreach Manager Emily Salerno and summer interns Jada Braithwaite and Drew Ghent to reflect on eight weeks of meaningful work, unexpected challenges, and the lessons that shaped their confidence. From developing an operations manual to support Parks and Recreation and CAPRA accreditation efforts to helping build the foundation for a virtual visitors guide and interactive GIS map, they share what it was like to create projects that will continue serving the community long after their internship ended.
Along the way, they talk about adapting to changing priorities, learning to accept feedback, building professional relationships, and discovering that the best solutions come from seeing every project through the eyes of the people who will use it. It's an honest conversation about growth, teamwork, and why local government offers opportunities many students never expect.
With the community in mind, this podcast explores the stories, people, and initiatives that make our community unique. Each episode offers insights into local government, highlights Milton's history and future developments, and showcases the vibrant arts, culture, and sustainability efforts shaping our city. Join the conversation, celebrate our community, and discover how we're building a better Milton together.
