Past interns have always found this opportunity very exciting and rewarding. Interns are accepted in the Washington, D.C., and my Philadelphia District office. Interns assist the permanent staff with duties pertaining to legislative and constituent services. Internships provide a unique opportunity to students who wish to gain insight into the legislative process and the workings of a House office.
Internships are available during the school year and summer and are generally unpaid.
You also will need two letters of reference. Preference is given, but not limited to students from the 3rd District of Philadelphia. Also, if you will be participating in a formal program directed by your school, please indicate on your cover letter what specific requirements the program would make of the office. If your school does not offer a formal intern program, you may wish to speak to your advisor about the possibility of receiving independent study credit for the internship. Many students work on independent study projects while with us.
