Internship Opportunities

Download the Internship Application: PDF or MS Word

As a United States Senator from Wisconsin, I have the pleasure of offering full-time and part-time internships to college students and recent graduates.

Need based financial assistance is available for Washington, DC internships. State internships are non-paying, volunteer positions. In some instances, however, it may be possible to earn credits toward a student's degree. The internships do require a minimum commitment of 15 hours per week.

The Washington, D.C. office of Senator Russ Feingold offers fifteen week internship sessions in the spring, summer, and fall. Four week, winter internships are also available during the month of January. Other timetables may be requested for those with special circumstances.
