This approval allows the intern to spend half a day interning in his or her member s office. Congressional offices select interns from within their own jurisdictions. Each member s office establishes its own criteria for intern selection. Older Americans interested in serving as a Congressional Senior Citizen Intern should contact the Washington, D.C., office or the local office of their senator or representative. The cost of participating in the program is the responsibility of the intern.
Most interns cover the cost of participation from their own resources.
