Responsibilities and opportunities vary, depending on the office, internship, and time of year. Basic qualifications for all internships include excellent organization, attention to detail, strong oral and written communication skills, and familiarity with computers. Also necessary are self-motivation, resourcefulness and independence, and willingness to perform clerical tasks. Knowledge of specific program issues and hands-on experience are helpful but not required. Interns work 40 hours each week.
Stipends are available.
