BOROUGH OF BERGENFIELD - INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

            In an effort to introduce students to government vocations, the Borough of Bergenfield has established an internship program.

            The municipal internship program offers college students that have completed a minimum of 60 college credits an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in a government office environment.   Interns will be responsible for assisting the Administration/Borough Clerk’s office with reception duties and servicing residents, programing Borough wide events, processing local permit applications, preparation of public meeting packets, and records management.  Interns will have an opportunity to work cooperatively with government officials, department heads, volunteers and members of the public.

            The Borough is seeking students with coursework in Political Science, Administration, Social Work, Communications or other related fields of study.  Furthermore, students should have excellent verbal and written communication skills, strong computer skills, be self-motivated and dependable.

            Students are encouraged to make arrangements for academic credit through participating colleges and universities. In addition, students may work up to 29 hours per week and earn $15 per hour. Interested students must submit a resume and cover letter electronically to Borough Administrator Corey Gallo by May 31, 2024 at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Antlers #35 of Elks Lodge #1477 in Bergenfield marked Elks Youth Week with an engaging event at the heart of community governance. Transforming Bergenfield Borough Hall into a hub of youthful democracy, 13 students stepped into roles of leadership, electing a Mayor, Council President, and Borough Clerk. The initiative not only showcased their potential but also fostered civic engagement and leadership skills.

The success of the event owes much to the dedication of Tom Boyce and Katarzyna Budiman from Bergenfield Elks Lodge #1477, whose commitment to empowering youth is evident. Mayor Arvin Amatorio aptly summed up the spirit of the occasion, saying, "This mock council isn't just about today; it's about inspiring tomorrow's leaders and showing them the importance of community involvement. Our youth are the future stewards of Bergenfield, and events like these lay the groundwork for a vibrant, engaged society." With initiatives like this, the Elks Lodge continues to sow seeds of leadership and community spirit, ensuring a bright future for Bergenfield and its youth.

We will be having our "Bike with a Cop" event on May 19, 2024. Registration for residents will start at 9:00 AM and the ride will begin at 10:00AM.

 We are also giving away 50 helmets to the first fifty registrants. 

Once the bike ride is concluded, we will raffle off bicycles.
