Augusta County Clerk’s Office in search of interns

STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) - Augusta County Clerk of Circuit Court R. Steven Landes announced Monday that the clerk’s office is again seeking high school and college students who wish to serve as interns.

The clerk’s office will provide internship opportunities for the winter semester beginning in January to students who are interested in state’s government, the judicial system, or the law.

“For the second Winter Semester, the Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office is offering this educational and learning opportunity to young people in the Augusta County area,” Landes said. “Our internships allow young people to see first-hand the work of the Circuit Court and the Clerk’s Office.”

The clerk’s office has hosted eight students since the internship program was initiated in 2020. Interns assist the Clerk’s Staff with several assignments and tasks.
