What our Interns Say

“A wonderful program! They offered resume workshops, mock interviews, and were involved throughout the whole interview process. Even during the actual internship I could turn to any of the CW staff members and ask questions, or get advice. I really do feel like this whole process has set me up for a lot of great work.”

Brittany V.2019 Lower Columbia Preservation Society Intern
“My internship was an amazing experience and I’m so happy to have been a part of it- this was my favorite impulsive application thus far!”
Anya H.2020 Intern
“I am extremely glad that I applied for Clatsop Works. It was great to not only gain work experience, but work in a field that I am interested in at a young age. One of my favorite parts of the internship was how much I learned and how much knowledge I gained. I feel I am definitely more prepared for when I am ready to enter the work force.”
