Washington, DC Office
In the Washington, DC office, internships run throughout the fall, spring, or summer semesters for college students and recent college graduates. All internships are paid, and interns gain invaluable work experience. The hours are flexible to accommodate students’ hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
In Washington, DC interns’ responsibilities will vary between a communications or legislative internship. They may be asked to answer phones, run errands, draft social media posts, take photos of the Member, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process, communications process, and the many other functions of a congressional office. Interested applicants should express interest in either a communications or legislative internship.
District Office
In our neighborhood service center, interns may be asked to do a variety of things, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones and writing letters. In addition, interns may be assigned to assist in various constituent casework or work on District-based projects of importance. District internships are also paid.
