State Sen. Jason Lewis is seeking candidates for a summer internship with his office.
Lewis proudly represents the people of the Fifth Middlesex District of Massachusetts, which includes the cities and towns of Malden, Melrose, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, and parts of Winchester.
Lewis is a member of Senate President Karen Spilka’s leadership team, and serves as the Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Education and the Chair of the Senate Ethics Committee. He also co-founded and co-chairs the Legislature’s Zero Waste Caucus and Middlesex Fells Caucus.
He has been a leader in shaping public policy on a range of issues important to his district, region, and the state, including education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.
Interns will support the senator’s staff in a variety of ways, but we are specifically looking for interns with interest in one or more of the following:
• implementing the Senator’s communications strategy,
• supporting local projects and our work with organizations in the district, or
• assisting with constituent services.
Tasks may include:
• attending project briefings,
• researching information and statistics,
• creating pamphlets and charts,
• drafting social media posts, and
• event planning.
Interns will have the unique opportunity to engage with policymaking, politics, and government from the inside. Although unpaid, interns will obtain meaningful experience by witnessing and participating in the day-to-day functioning of a State Senate office with a special focus on our work with the Education Committee.
Interns must have strong written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail. Candidates must also be comfortable with Microsoft Office, Google applications, and major social media platforms.
Preference will be given to applicants with a high school diploma or equivalent.
Applications from the Fifth Middlesex District are strongly encouraged.
Hours and duration of internship are flexible, though ideal applicants will be available 8-10 hours per week.
This position will be in-person, hybrid, or fully remote.
Our office does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, gender identity, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, or age.
Applicants of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
Candidates should send a resume and a brief letter of interest to Jason.Lewis@masenate.gov by Monday, March 31, 2025. References should be available upon request.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so interested parties are encouraged to apply promptly.
