district office, located in Toledo.
What Activities Does An Intern Perform?
Interns in my Washington, DC office work closely with the professional
staff on a variety of legislative projects. Responsibilities
include attending hearings, preparing legislative reports, researching
specific issues and compiling information to respond to constituents'
inquiries. Some clerical work is also required. Interns learn
the legislative process and gain valuable hands on experience.
Interns learn the workings of a Congressional office and have
the ability to network on the Hill.
Students with a particular interest in trade, economics, and
community development are encouraged to apply.
Interns in my district offices concentrate on researching constituent
inquiries for information and help in dealing with federeal
agencies. In addition, interns accompany district staff to meetings
of local civic and professional organizations. Some clerical
work is expected.
Where Will I Live?
Summer intern housing is available in university dormitories
and year-round in rental apartments in the surrounding area.
