Internships


Internships with Congressman Blumenauer's office provide a valuable opportunity to learn about the functions of the House of Representatives, as well as Earl's role in representing the 3rd Congressional District of Oregon.

An internship with Congressman Blumenauer presents a variety of unique opportunities to participate and actively aid in the daily operations of a Congressional office. Internships opportunities are available either in the Washington D.C. office or the District Office in Portland.

General intern responsibilities include:

  • Attending Congressional hearings
  • Assisting with legislative research
  • Assisting with constituent casework (Portland office)
Some previous general office experience is required. The atmosphere of a congressional office can be highly demanding, and a professional manner is expected at all times.

Internships are unpaid, but arrangements can be made for the student to receive credit for their internship through their school or university. Internships are accepted on a rolling deadline, but summer is the most popular time for applications and office space is limited.
