The Nashville Civic Design Center offers part-time and full-time internship opportunities throughout the year. The intern's main responsibility is to provide design, research and administrative assistance for the Center's current projects.

The Civic Design Center's staff works closely with individuals to tailor each internship to fit the applicants interests and talents. Interns will have the opportunity to participate in multiple areas within the Design Center's office, including work in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, graphic design, mass media, community development, environmental sustainability, marketing/communications, volunteer coordination and fundraising.

Recommended computer skills are Adobe Design Suite, sketch-up and MS Office. Anyone interested in urban studies and design are strongly encouraged to apply. Interns are expected to devote a minimum of 15-20 hours per week during the school year, but schedules are flexible. All positions are unpaid, though some local university programs offer course credit for participation.

Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with The Plan of Nashville and the Nashville Civic Design Center's mission and past work before interviewing.
