Lenawee County Celebrates National Intern Day with Day-Long Event Honoring Local resource for job training and more
Lenawee County will celebrate its fourth National Intern Day on Thursday, July 30, 2026, with a full day of activities designed to honor and connect college interns working across the county. The celebration builds upon the success of the previous year’s events and continues to grow in scope and participation.
National Intern Day, observed annually on the last Thursday of July, highlights the valuable contributions interns make to businesses, nonprofits, and government organizations. Lenawee County’s event recognizes the positive impact interns have on the local community while encouraging them to build lasting connections and consider Lenawee County as a place to “Live, Learn, Work & Play” after graduation.
While the full schedule is still being finalized, this year’s event will include a service project, lunch, recreation and networking activities, local guest speakers, and opportunities for interns to connect with one another and community leaders throughout the day.
Thanks to the support of generous local sponsors, this event is free for both interns and participating employers, helping remove barriers and expand access to this unique professional and community-building experience.
In addition to National Intern Day, event organizers are planning an early summer intern event on June 11 in downtown Adrian, offering another opportunity for interns to connect in a relaxed, social setting. More details will be announced soon. Interns who register for National Intern Day will receive updates and invitations to this summer mixer.
College-level interns from across the country are working in a wide range of industries throughout Lenawee County this summer, and participation in National Intern Day continues to expand each year.
