Internships

DC Office Internships

Internships run through the fall, spring, and summer semesters and are open to undergrad, law, or graduate students. The hours can be flexible to accommodate students' course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when Congress is in session, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when not in session. 

In Washington, DC, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings, give tours of the Capitol, and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office. Interns also have the opportunity to assist our communications staff with press releases, news clips, staffing press conferences, and other communications-related tasks.
