Interns become an integral part of our office operation and are exposed to all aspects of the legislative process. Our office is happy to work with students who wish to apply their internship toward academic credit. The Internship Program is best suited to undergraduate students, although we will consider high school and graduate students. Interns work on a voluntary basis. Although we do not provide a stipend, interns are extended many of the privileges of Senate employees and are subject to both Senate Rules and office policies.
Interns are responsible for securing their own housing for the duration of their internship.
Interns in Washington, DC will spend about half of their time assisting legislative and press staff, and the rest of their time providing daily administrative support. We are currently accepting applications for Summer 2001. Or you may receive an application by contacting the internship coordinator for the office in which you wish to work. N.B. Personal interviews are not required, but may be requested.
