This spring, the City of Whitewater is looking forward to bringing an internship into the City Manager’s office. Applicant interviews are scheduled for January 25th, 2023. The internship will incorporate various projects such as creating an orientation video for citizens who are newly appointed to boards, committees and commissions, preparation of the state of the city presentation; fire/EMS facility study, preparation of the city manager updates, research, and reports. 

For students who enjoy working with people and fitness, the Whitewater Aquatic & Fitness Center is looking for students to apply for lifeguard positions in the Aquatic Center or for the front desk position. Work schedules vary based on student’s availability. Best of all, employees get a free individual membership for the aquatic and fitness center. 

To continue to make Whitewater an exceptional community in which to live, work and play, all students and community members are welcome to apply for a board, committee, or commission. For students who are looking for a way to differentiate themselves from other applicants after graduation, board or committee experience can be valuable and provide an edge over other applicants.
