Thank you for your interest in Senator Voinovich's internship program. Past interns have found this opportunity to be very exciting and rewarding. Senator Voinovich and his staff are looking for qualified applicants to work in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Washington, D.C. These positions are available in the fall, spring and summer. Interns are a valuable part of the office and are responsible for both legislative and constituent duties. Individuals must be strong writers and have good communication skills. Interns will participate in all areas of the office and will spend roughly 50 percent of their time assisting the office staff with routine tasks such as opening and distributing constituent mail, assisting in the front office, giving tours of the Capitol and running errands. The balance of their time will be spent assisting legislative staff with research, attending hearings and tracking legislative developments. By the end of the internship, students will have an excellent insight into the workings of a Senate office and how the legislative process works.

Eligibility The ideal student applicant will have strong academic credentials and an interest in politics. Due to the high number of applicants, internships are limited to Ohio residents and/or students currently attending a college or university in the state of Ohio. Students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Application Process To begin the internship application process, please download our application packet or e-mail our Internship Coordinator with your name, mailing address and phone number directly to Internships_Voinovich@voinovich.senate.gov to receive a packet. To apply for an internship, you must complete an application, which requires a complete college transcript, a current resume, a one-page essay describing why the candidate is interested in an internship with Senator Voinovich's office and what he or she hopes to obtain from the experience, and two letters of recommendation. A phone interview may be required before a final decision on applicants is determined. Please submit completed application packet via e-mail or fax to the Internship Coordinator at (202) 228-1382. If you have any questions pertaining to internships, please contact the Washington, D.C., or state offices. This position is a non-paid position, so selection is generally made several months in advance to allow students to make housing and travel arrangements. Thank you again for your interest.
