THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2021 Page 7 High school students invited to apply for paid internship in memory of fallen prosecutor I n memory of Suff olk County prosecutor Paul McLaughlin and in honor of his commitment to using the law as a means to improve the communities he served, Suff olk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins has created the Paul R. McLaughlin Memorial Scholarship and invited high school students in their junior year from Boston, Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop to apply. “I never had the privilege of working with Paul, but more than 25 years after his murder, his passion for justice and second chances still stand as an inspiration to all of us. This scholarship opportunity is one way that we can continue the work that Paul dedicated his life to,” Rollins said. “He saw the role of the prosecutor as more than just holding individuals accountable for their actions. He knew that serving the community means engaging with the community not just on the worst days of their lives, but every day; not just in courtrooms, but in neighborhoods.” Beginning in the summer of 2021, McLaughlin scholars will have the opportunity to join Rollins’ offi ce for a two-month, paid internship. The program pairs each student with a mentor within the offi ce. Scholars will be immersed in one of fi ve internship focus areas: Public Policy and Strategy, Community Aff airs and Relationships, Child Protection and Advocacy, Neighborhood Safety and Strategic Prosecutions and an Executive Team placement. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Offi ce’s relationship with the McLaughlin scholars will continue well after their internship ends. Upon acceptance into college, the scholars will receive fi nancial assistance toward their higher education. “Paul’s legacy lives on in the work that we are doing here at the Suff olk County District Attorney’s Offi ce, at the Dorchester youth center that bears his name, and now with the McLaughlin Scholarship. This fund will help the next generation of aspiring civic leaders achieve the education necessary to continue the work that Paul committed his life to. Paul’s work continues through all of us, and with this scholarship fund, we’re able to ensure that his work continues for generations,” Rollins said. “We’ve reached out to our partners at Suff olk County high schools and the community nonprofi ts we work with to spread the word about this high school scholarship opportunity. We also made sure that our partners at the Department of Youth Services are aware of this opportunity. I encourage all youth to apply for the Scholarship, regardless of their interactions with the criminal legal system. I want to ensure that eligible young people in every neighborhood my offi ce serves are able to apply for this opportunity. It is my hope that our pool of applicants refl ects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our community, as well as the commitment to service that Paul’s legacy embodies.” The deadline for applications is February 5.
