A Washington Internship with Senator Baucus is an active, educational, and para professional experience in the United States Senate as a representative of Senator Baucus and the State of Montana. Interns are employed for each academic semester and during the summer months. Internships are available in my Capitol Hill office or in any of my Montana offices. Interns have a terrific opportunity to learn more about the legislative process. While the positions are unpaid, most interns agree that this experience gives them valuable insights into the workings of the U.S. Congress and a chance to help serve fellow Montanans.
Interns have specific assigned responsibilities and assist with all office operations, as necessary.
As an intern's contributions to the office are important, a responsible commitment, willingness to work hard, and a positive attitude are essential to the success of an intern's experience. Administrative Activity Administrative assignments include managing the front office operations, assisting with constituent services, performing general office duties, and escorting drop-in visitors to the Capitol. The press department requires assistance preparing morning news and daily news clips, assisting with or observing a radio feed or press conference, assisting with daily press activities, filing, and copying. Housing Interns are responsible for finding their own housing. Living on Capitol Hill can be quite expensive.
