Applicants must commit a minimum of 18 hours per week, or 2 full workdays. Of course, the more time interns devote to the program, the more valuable the experience is for them.
Most interns make themselves available throughout the workweek.
Regardless of whether an intern is working the minimum required hours or a full workweek, internships demand a strong work ethic. Governor's office interns work alongside staff in the following areas. Any requests, questions, concerns or comments for the Governor from citizens are processed through the Office of Citizen Affairs. Interns who work in the Citizen Affairs Office help respond to letters and requests for information from the public. In addition, they draft the governor's proclamations and citizen commendations and write congratulatory messages to constituents around the state who have achieved personal or professional milestones.
