Sen. Durbin's Illinois offices (located in Chicago, Springfield, Rock Island, and Carbondale) assist constituents in matters dealing with federal services and provide outreach to constituent interest groups on behalf of the Senator. Based on the individual's availability and skills, interns will work with outreach staff, case workers, press secretaries and administrative staff.

All interns are required to perform reception and general office support duties. In addition, interns are given as much substantive work as possible, including opportunities to conduct legislative research, assist with casework matters, and work with the press team.

All interested applicants should submit completed application materials to the Intern Coordinator in the appropriate state office to which they are applying. Mailing address information can be found on page 4 of the application.

Applications can also be sent via e-mail to internships@durbin.senate.gov or by fax to the appropriate office.
