Congressional Intern Program

Congressional Internship Program Overview

Our internship program is open to all majors and provides an opportunity for students to learn, first hand, how a Congressional office operates. Interns work closely with staff to create a team that is accessible and responsive to the constituents of Congressional District 2. Our internship opportunities are unpaid, but we are more than happy to work with students to help earn school credits. Interns are required to do at least 2 shifts of four and a half hours twice a week. The shifts are from 8am to 12:30pm and from 12:30pm to5pm. There are also full time positions available where schedules permit. Interns perform a variety of duties including day-to-day administrative work, data entry, answering phones, drafting constituent correspondence, helping constituents work with federal agencies, and assisting staff where necessary.
