Internships 

The Wauwatosa Health Department offers a variety of internship opportunities. If you are interested in an internship for school credit, please fill out the "Health Department Intern" application on the City of Wauwatosa's Job Opportunities page.

Internship opportunities include clinical placements, field placements, and capstone projects in nursing, social work, environmental health, and public health. Interest forms must be submitted at least 3 weeks in advance of your anticipated start date. Students will be selected based on available openings, interest areas, program requirements, alignment with current projects, and/or type of internship.

Volunteering

General Volunteer Opportunities

On occasion, the Wauwatosa Health Department seeks volunteers for our events and programs throughout the year. If you are interested in these opportunities, please call 414-479-8936 or email thealth@wauwatosa.net.

Emergency Assistance

In the event of a disaster or public health crisis in the community, we rely on volunteers to assist with emergency response.  Because emergency situations often occur without warning, we ask volunteers to register in advance.  You are then contacted if assistance is needed.  Any required training is done on-site at the time of the event.

You can register through the Wisconsin Emergency Assistance Volunteer Registry (WEAVR), an online registration system for volunteers willing to serve in an emergency.  

You can register using this link: www.weavrwi.org

During registration, please select “Wauwatosa Health Department” as your organization. 

If you have questions about volunteer or internship opportunities, please call 414-479-8936.
