Congressional Internships:
My office is always accepting resumes from college students interested in interning for academic credit.
By assisting the staff in my Iowa offices, interns have the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge about how a Congressional office provides constituent services and interacts with the community.
Interns in the Washington, D.C., office will have an opportunity to learn about the legislative process and the federal government by working closely with the legislative, communications and constituent services staff members.
All internships are unpaid and candidates who are chosen for the Washington, D.C., office may be responsible for covering their own travel and living expenses. However, interns in any office can arrange to receive academic credit for their work.
My internship program is open to all area college students, regardless of major.
Congressional Page Program:
Pages have been serving the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly 200 years. Working as a team, pages assist Members with their legislative duties, deliver correspondence and small packages within the congressional complex, answer phones in the Member cloakrooms, and prepare the House Floor for sessions.
High school juniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in core academic subjects may apply to work as Pages in the U.S. House of Representatives for a fall, spring, or summer appointment. While serving the House, Pages live in Washington D.C., at the Page Residence Hall, a few blocks away from the Capitol and attend classes at the House Page School. Pages earn a stipend of $1,761.91 a month to defray expenses. Pages must be sponsored by a Member of Congress and be at least 16 years old on the date they begin their term.
