(Washington, D.C.) Fourth District Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark) today announced
his congressional internship program for his Washington, D.C., and Fourth
Congressional District offices. The Summer 2004 Session I program
begins on May 24 and runs until July 2. The Summer 2004 Session II
program begins on July 6 and runs until August 13.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to give young people the ability
to be a part of the day-to-day inner workings of our federal government,
whether in our Nation’s Capital or in Arkansas,” Ross said. “Congressional
interns play a valuable role in helping us serve the constituents of the
Fourth Congressional District and the American people, and I pledge to
continue to provide them with an experience that is both challenging and
rewarding.”
The Washington, D.C. intern program will allow four college students
the chance to see and experience life in our Nation’s Capital while serving
the people of Arkansas. Interns in the D.C. office will aid the staff
in legislative research, press and constituent relations, and office administrative
duties. Accepted applicants will be assisted in locating housing
on Capitol Hill or at one of several local universities. Interns
will receive a $1,500.00 stipend (pre-tax) to help pay for housing and
living costs. Students will also be given the opportunity to earn
college credit for their congressional work.
Internship opportunities are also available in Ross’ district offices
located in Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, El Dorado and Prescott. District
interns will help with event staffing, constituent services, local involvement,
and office administrative responsibilities.
The application deadline for the Summer 2004 sessions is March 15.
