ACCG Civic Affairs Foundation Funds 45 Georgia County Internship Program Grants for 2025

Each year, the ACCG Civic Affairs Foundation (Foundation) provides grant funding for counties to hire summer interns. Forty-five internships were selected by the Foundation Georgia County Internship Program (GCIP) Review Committee in December to receive grant funding for the summer of 2025. Grant award winners and their winning projects can be viewed here. These grants will provide internship opportunities in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), law, communications, human resources, environmental management, transportation, planning, community development, finance, and other county departments and offices in 30 counties throughout the state.

In addition to the general grants provided through the Foundation, two specialty grants were awarded this year. The Kundell Environmental Management Internship Grant, created by the Foundation in honor of the late Dr. Jim Kundell, has been awarded for four internships in Bartow, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Henry counties. These internships will include engineering, water sampling, littering, and stormwater projects. The Garner Health and Human Service Internship, created by the Foundation in honor of late Fulton County Commissioner Joan Garner, is partially funding a Paulding County project on mental health.
