Student Section - Intern Program Thank you for your interest serving as an intern in my office. Due to the limited number of available internships the application process is very competitive. Each summer my Washington office accepts up to 3 applicants for month-long internships (May, June, July). The deadline for summer internships is March 15 of each year. The internship program has been designed to offer students and recent college graduates a unique opportunity to learn about the inner workings of Congress and to gain a greater understanding of the political process by experiencing it firsthand. Although internships are unpaid positions, interns are treated as full participants in my Congressional office. As such, it is important for them to be professional, organized, and motivated. Interns play an integral part in the busy atmosphere of a Congressional office. The tasks you will be expected to perform will include, but are not limited to, the following:
During an internship, you may have the opportunity of attending meetings on behalf of staffers, attending Congressional receptions, visiting the House Floor, and working in close conjunction with a professional office staff in various areas of policy. It is my sincere hope that all our interns will take advantage of opportunities as they arise and will utilize their time in my office to gain an invaluable educational and professional experience.
To apply for an internship, please complete the Internship Application and submit it to my office along with the additional required information. |
