As a United States Senator from Wisconsin,
I have the pleasure of offering full-time and part-time internships
to college students and recent graduates.
Need based financial assistance is available for Washington,
DC internships. State internships are non-paying, volunteer
positions. In some instances, however, it may be possible
to earn credits toward a student's degree. The internships
do require a minimum commitment of 15 hours per week.
Internship Opportunities in Washington,
D.C.
The Washington, D.C. office of Senator
Russ Feingold offers fifteen week internship sessions in the
spring, summer, and fall. Four week, winter internships are
also available during the month of January. Other timetables
may be requested for those with special circumstances.

This internship requires accurate writing and research skills,
the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and an availability
to work at least three days a week. Preference will be given
to individuals with journalism backgrounds and an interest
in political science. The press internship involves handling
special media projects, building and maintaining databases,
compiling daily news clippings, as well as some other duties.
