The Fairfax County Park Authority is proud to announce that we have been recognized for the second year in a row as a 2026 Top Employer for Interns by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. This recognition highlights FCPA’s dedication to providing meaningful work-based learning experiences that empower the next generation of leaders.

FCPA internships provide students and emerging professionals with hands-on experience that supports both their career goals and the Park Authority’s mission to serve the Fairfax County community. Interns contribute to real projects and initiatives across areas, such as park operations, recreation programs, environmental stewardship, communications, business operations, engineering and golf enterprises, gaining practical experience while making a meaningful impact.

"We are incredibly proud to be recognized again this year," said Jeff Rosenblum, FCPA’s human resources manager. "Interns are an important part of our workforce and our future talent pipeline. We take great pride in creating an environment for interns to feel supported, challenged and valued, while providing them the opportunities to build the skills they need for their careers."

FCPA encourages students, emerging professionals, career changers and anyone interested in gaining knowledge in one of our operational areas, to explore upcoming internship opportunities by visiting the Internship Opportunities website.
