Frederick County-Independent Agencies
Frederick County Government partners with several independent agencies that operate outside the County’s organizational structure. These agencies function autonomously, often established under state law, and are governed by their own elected officials or appointed boards. Because of their independent nature, they typically manage and structure their own internship programs, with support from Frederick County Government as needed.
