The Office of State Representative Josh Tarsky is thrilled to offer legislative internships for the
Summer of 2026. This internship program is intended for driven and passionate individuals with a belief in public service.
Legislative interns will receive hands-on experience in the day-to-day operations of a State
Representative Office, including but not limited to attending legislative briefings, fielding
meetings with advocates, performing policy research, and creating communications assets.
Legislative interns can expect to be in the State House 1-2 days per week, with the option to staff the Representative for in-district events. This internship will run from early June to the end of July. Though this internship is unpaid, we are happy to work with schools and universities to achieve credit hours for your participation. We hope that interns will leave the program with a deep understanding of Massachusetts’ government, district work, policy analysis, and a dedication to the public good.
