Senate Internships

I am happy to offer internships in both my Providence and Washington, D.C. Senate offices. These internships are open to college- and high school-aged students, with preference given to Rhode Island residents.

Interns will be introduced to the legislative process through a variety of duties, including maintaining correspondence with constituents, conducting policy research, and assisting in the day-to-day operations of my office. Interns in the Washington, D.C. office will also be responsible for hosting tours of the Capitol complex for visiting Rhode Islanders, attending briefings and congressional hearings, and assisting our press office.

Internships are available on both a full- and part-time basis during both the summer and the school year. To apply, please use my online form:
