Purpose and Philosophy The principle purpose of the intern program is to assist students in making an effective transition from the classroom to the professional Recreation world. It is designed to give student the opportunity to explore the parks and recreation field and to discover where their specific interests lie.
The Recreation Services Department’s goal is to assist the intern through practical experience to become a professional; capable of securing a full-time position in the parks and recreation field.
Internship Opportunities There are nine areas within Broomfield Recreation Services wherein an intern may gain experience:
The intern will also gain knowledge and skills related to the administration and operation of recreation centers, an outdoor Aquatic Park (summer internship only), joint-use agreements with area school districts and participation in the Colorado Parks and Recreation Association.
Supervision is a key to a successful internship program. Broomfield Recreation Services is able to assume full responsibility for the supervision of the intern. Each of the current supervisory staff has at least ten years of experience in the field of recreation. Each remains open to new ideas and creative ways to program activities and manage facilities.
