Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS) is looking for motivated students ages 16+, college students or young adults looking to jump into real-world experience through our new Work Student Program launching January 2026. Build your skills, explore our mission and make a meaningful impact in Fairfax County. 

Under the guidance of staff from the assigned department, Work Students will complete entry-level tasks that give them hands-on experience, career exploration opportunities and exposure to the field – all supported through mentorship.

Students may work up to 900 part-time hours in 2026. Hours are flexible to fit around school schedules, and jobs are located throughout Fairfax County.

NCS is a Fairfax County agency that supports people of all ages through recreation, education and developmental programs. This internship program offers a great opportunity to build skills in public service aligned with the county’s One Fairfax Policy, as well as in program management, administration and more. Students will be matched with programs that best fit their resume and college major (if applicable).

There are three classifications for Work Student positions, each with varying responsibilities and pay scales.
