Deadline Approaching for First-Ever Paid City Hall Internships

College students interested in government can apply to land the first slots in the city’s new public service internship program.

Proposed earlier this year by Mayor Arthur Vigeant and recently approved and funded by the City Council, the internship program is designed to give college students an inside look at city government.

To be considered for an internship, students must complete an application, provide a recent college transcript and write an essay of no more than 400 words explaining why they want to intern with the city and how it could help advance the student’s academic and career goals. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 25.

The application and more information are available online and at the Marlborough Public Library. For more information, contact Mike Berry at (508) 460-3770.
