Language and Communications Access Internship

Applications are currently closed.

The Mayor's Office of Language and Communications Access aims to strengthen how the City functions. We work to help people who use languages other than English (LOTE) and those with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure all City programs and services are accessible to all residents.

Our office is housed in the City of Boston’s Civic Engagement Cabinet. We work across all City departments. We aim to build a system where all City residents can access the interpretation, translation, and assistive technology services they need.
