Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Town of Hanover Summer Internship Program applications are now being
accepted for motivated high school and college students who want to gain
professional work experience, build skills such as time management,
teamwork, communication, leadership, and critical thinking, and explore new
interests while learning how Hanover town government operates. Interns must
demonstrate maturity and politeness, integrate well within the Town Hall
team environment, and work hard at their assignments. Summer Interns will
spend the majority of their time engaged in work for the Town Manager but
also will be assigned to other departments within Hanover town government.
Strong preference will be given to students and graduates of Hanover High
School, South Shore Vocational Technical High School, and those who live in
Hanover and attend/attended private high schools.
Expectations:
The Town of Hanover Summer Internship program will run from the end of this
school year until the start of the next academic year. Participants will be
expected to work four days a week for 30 hours, including 12-hour days each
Wednesday when Town Hall is open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
As part of the 30 hours per week, Summer Interns will be required to attend
various evening and night meetings either in-person or via Zoom. Summer
Interns will be required to attend all Select Board meetings and a total of
5 meetings of different Hanover public bodies (e.g., Planning Board, Zoning
Board of Appeals, Advisory Committee, Conservation Commission, etc.). The
purpose of this expectation is for the Summer Interns to broaden their
understanding of how public bodies operate and how decisions are made at
the local government level.
Summer Interns will be assigned various tasks and responsibilities. Over
time, assignments will evolve to match the Intern’s skills, abilities,
and interests with the most pressing needs of the Town.
Summer Interns will be expected to write a 500-word essay at the conclusion
of their internship experience reflecting on what they learned during the
summer.

1. Cover Letter detailing in 500 words your interest in this program;
