Peachtree City’s summer internship cohort released a video this summer summarizing projects across multiple city departments, from the fire department’s social media growth to engineering checks of golf-cart ramps.

The video, introduced by cohort president Alexis Holla, presented short accounts from interns in fire, human resources, recreation and special events, library services, public works, the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), and engineering. “The video you are about to watch is a culmination of our work, knowledge gained, and memories made over the course of our internships,” Holla said in the introduction.

The presentations aimed to show how interns supported day-to-day municipal services and outreach while gaining hands-on experience. Highlights included a social-media campaign by a Fire Department intern, an HR intern’s effort to digitize personnel records, a parks-and-recreation intern’s event marketing, library programming for children, public-works mapping projects, CVB marketing collateral redesign, and engineering work on accessibility and water-quality monitoring.

A Fire Department intern described growth in the department’s TikTok account, saying, “When I started this summer, the TikTok had under 2,000 followers, and last I checked, it was at almost 9,000.” That intern also said they helped curate a yearlong campaign for the department’s 60th anniversary in 2026 and assisted with launching a peer-support program for firefighters, which the intern said officially launched in June.

An HR intern said digitizing personnel files and updating a position-control spreadsheet were central tasks. “It just optimizes our processes,” the intern said, describing work to scan older files into the city’s document-management platform (reported in the presentation as Laserfiche) and to create course catalogs tied to more than 120 city job descriptions.

The recreation and special-events intern described producing social-media content and managing live events, including a home-run-derby–related event and live streaming. That intern said they designed promotional material and a new “PTC passports” activity, and that the role combined recreation duties with event logistics and graphic design.

A library services intern described planning children’s story times and make-and-take crafts, shelving children’s nonfiction and chapter books, and assisting patrons during busy afternoons. “There’s this sweet little girl who came up to me to show me her craft, and she was so excited,” the intern said, describing direct community interaction during programs.

Public works and engineering interns described infrastructure and asset-management projects. The public-works intern said they applied the city’s road-classification system to golf-cart paths to prioritize repairs and worked on parking-lot mapping to improve safety and capacity. An engineering intern said they collected data on golf-cart ramps where cart paths meet roads to assess compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). The engineering intern also described an asset-inventory project for building systems and weekly water sampling at 11 recreational water sites to check for toxic algae.

The CVB intern described redesigning marketing collateral to a new brand, running the CVB’s Instagram and Facebook, and establishing partnerships with neighboring developments and venues to drive tourism and hotel occupancy. That intern said the internship offered behind-the-scenes access to event planning and local-business collaboration.

Cohort members repeatedly characterized the internships as interdisciplinary and community-focused. In the video’s closing segment, several interns summarized their experience with single-word reflections including “Inspiring,” “Memorable,” and “Transformative,” and the group concluded, “We love you, Peachtree City.”

The presentations did not record any formal actions, votes, or policy changes; they were a summary of summer work and outreach performed by interns across city departments.
