Internship and Volunteer Opportunities

The Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) offers a variety of public health internships, practicums, and volunteer experiences. As an intern or volunteer, you will gain real-life experience on the job, learn from professionals, and contribute to the health and well-being of the community in which you serve.

We offer hands-on experience with projects that will allow you to apply what you have learned in school, gain experience quickly, build your resume, and serve your community.
