The Boston Senate Office of United States Senator John F. Kerry is currently
looking for undergraduate and graduate students, recent college graduates, veterans
and young people interested in public service in the Greater Boston area to participate
in the Fall internship programs. The internship program is an opportunity
to gain valuable experience and insight into public service and government careers
while working on important local, national and international issues relating
to.:
- Global climate change and renewable energy
- Business and entrepreneurship including biotechnology, robotics and life sciences
- Social, economic and environmental justice and civil rights

 Interns work directly with Senate staffers on Congressional casework, respond to constituent inquiries via telephone and written correspondence, conduct outreach to various community organizations, and assist with policy research, writing and press.
In addition to working on designated issues, interns are also responsible for
assisting with administrative duties, helping as needed at Senate events, and
other tasks. The Summer intern program begins in early June (depending on intern's
