Internships
The rules of the House of Representatives permit interns and fellows to serve temporarily in the office of a Member of Congress when that service is primarily of educational benefit. Congressman Schiff has made internships available in his office in Washington, D.C., and in his district office in Pasadena in order to provide that experience for students and others who wish to learn more about the workings of a Congressional office and about our country's democratic political process.
