After temporarily pausing the program in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Granville County is pleased to offer the Summer Civic Leadership Program once again to rising high school seniors (students currently in eleventh grade) who reside in Granville County.
The Summer Civic Leadership Program gives high school students the opportunity to gain work experience in local government with hands-on job training across all aspects of county operations. This program aligns with Granville County’s commitment to developing the next generation of local workforce talent and foster dedication and passion for public service. Eligible students will be selected to participate in one of the four service-area tracks:
- Community Services: Cooperative Extension, Economic Development, Landfill, Library System, Planning and Inspections, Recreation and Parks, and Tourism.
- General Government: Administration, Human Resources, Information Technology, and Tax Administration.
- Human Services: Senior Services and Veterans Services.
- Public Safety: Animal Control, Detention Center, Emergency Communications, Emergency Management, and Sheriff’s Office.
Successful completion of the Summer Civic Leadership Program will entitle students to educational assistance in the amount of $1,400.
Eligible students must apply before April 8, 2022. Applications can be obtained by contacting Debra Weary, Clerk to the Board, at 919-603-1307 or by clicking here.
