Marlborough Opens Applications for Summer Internships

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Calling all young adults interested in local government, here’s your chance.

The City of Marlborough is inviting local students and college-aged individuals to apply to the Mayor's Summer Internship Program. The program, returning for 2026, has seen success over the last two years, according to the city.

The internship offers a chance to gain hands-on experience and build professional skills while working alongside staff across several city departments.

The job will run from June through August, with participants working up to 25 hours a week for $15 per hour. Interns will work alongside a department head or employee.

The program is open to college-aged individuals who recently graduated from high school, are currently in college, are in the workforce or are taking a gap year.

The city said interns have the opportunity to choose from several fields they are interested in, including Services, Information Technology, Conservation and Sustainability, Recreation, Building/Construction/Code Enforcement, Human Resources, Legal and Election Management/City Records.

"It continues to be inspiring to see students excited to contribute to municipal government through our internship program. The interns gain hands-on experience working alongside our dedicated staff, and at the same time, their contributions help support important projects and tasks across multiple departments," said Mayor J. Christian Dumais in a news release. "We have been very lucky these past two years to have many great candidates, which resulted in outstanding interns. It is a great program that benefits both our participants and the City as a whole.”

Applications for the internship program are now open and will close on Monday, Apr. 6. To apply, you must submit the application, cover letter, resume and one reference letter.

Those who want to apply can find the application online here.
