OUHSD Student Intern

In partnership with the Oxnard Union High School District, the City of Oxnard's Cultural and Community Services Department is seeking Oxnard Union High School students to join our internship program! The Sustainability, Prosperity, Education, Equity-Driven (S.P.E.E.D.) internship program is a nontraditional program designed to address overlapping community needs and provide students with professional skills and training.

Under general supervision, Interns provide on-site support for a variety of community programs and services within the Cultural and Community Services Department.

The Intern classification allows the incumbent to develop journey-level knowledge and abilities. Initially under closer supervision, incumbents learn and perform a variety of duties related to recreational and human services programs and activities. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and may perform duties requiring a broader and more detailed understanding of recreation and human services program operations.

General supervision is provided by a Cultural and Recreation Analyst or higher-level recreation program personnel. An Intern may provide functional and technical supervision to subordinate recreation leaders or volunteers.

These positions work various schedules and at various locations throughout the city of Oxnard and Port Hueneme. These positions may be required to be available to work additional hours as needed to respond to workload needs. These positions are non-exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and are eligible for overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a given workweek.

Extra-Help positions are expected to last no more than 960 hours. Under the terms of the City's benefits plan and policies, this position is not eligible for benefits due to the short duration of employment.
