About the Role
In the Community Planning Intern position, you will help Westwood’s planning team assist cities, counties, parishes, and tribal nations plan for their future and pay for it. Our work includes comprehensive plans, zoning updates, master plans, community improvement plans, and federal and state grant applications for communities across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
As a Community Planning Intern, you’ll work alongside AICP-certified planners on active client projects. You’ll get hands-on experience with the full arc of a plan, from public meetings and stakeholder interviews to data analysis, plan writing, and the grant applications that turn plans into funded projects. This role suits a planning student who wants real project experience and the chance to see their work used by the communities it’s written for.
