I am pleased to offer many talented young people an opportunity to participate in public service as interns in both my Washington, D.C. and district offices. Interns learn how government works by researching legislation, attending meetings, and assisting me with constituent casework and inquiries. If you are a college student or recent graduate interested in interning with one of my offices, please apply here: Congressional Internship Application.

I have the privilege of selecting one piece of student artwork per year to represent Massachusetts' Eighth District in Congress as part of the Annual Congressional Art Competition. The winning artwork will be displayed in the tunnel between the Capitol and the Cannon House Office Building for the entire year, along with other winners throughout the country. For more information on this or the Congressional App Challenge, please contact my Boston office or visit the Art Competition and App Challenge page on my website.

One of my jobs as a U.S. Congressman is to recommend young men and women from the Eighth District of Massachusetts for admittance to the four U.S. service academies. Please see the Service Academy Nominations page for more information about how to apply.
