Office of City Council At-Large City of Mansfield Councilman Don Bryant MEMORANDUM TO: All City Employees, Elected Officials RE: 2017 Mansfield City Council Internship Program (MCCIP) This year, the program will begin on Tuesday, June 6th. The MCCIP utilizes a ‘team-mentorship’ concept whereas interns will be working with multiple people and departments throughout the City. This is a teaching and learning program that is geared toward providing interns with the functional knowledge to how our city government works. Thus, interns are not allowed to engage in political activities. The program duration is 10-weeks or minimum of 35-40 hours total. Each week will have a different theme and interns are expected to complete a variety of interviews with community leaders and city officials. This is where the “team-mentoring” concept comes into action. Interns will spend time with department directors and other elected officials throughout the city. Out of the 34 applicants, I’ve selected (2): Olivia Hoppe and Kyle Weese. Olivia is an 18-year-old student at The Ohio State University; she is studying history and political science. Kyle is a 19-year-old student at Ohio University studying business administration and is attending college on a full-academic scholarship. Kyle has no plans to run for office but wants to be a lawyer one day. Olivia on the other hand, says she does want to run for office one day to “make the world a better place.” She states issues such as gender equality and fairness for all people; are very important things to work toward. Thank you to all department heads and elected officials who responded to my requests for team-mentoring. You are appreciated!
