Internships

Participation in our internship program offers a wonderful opportunity for students to gain a broad understanding of the congressional process. We accept applications from high school juniors and seniors for summer internships, and college and graduate students throughout the year. If interested send your cover letter, resume, transcripts, 2 letter of recommendation, and a maximum1-2 page writing sample to veronica.hernandez@mail.house.gov.  Cover letters should indicate which internship and semester you are interested in participating.

The Washington, D.C. intern experience is designed to immerse interns in all areas of a Congressional work environment. Interns are required to exhibit strong written and verbal communication and will be expected to conduct capital tours, research, and assist with administrative duties. In addition, they will respond to constituent letters and requests, attend hearing and briefings, and complete projects in specific issue areas as requested.

Constituent Service Internship

In addition to many of the responsibilities above, Constituent Service interns will work primarily in our District Office.  Interns will assist our Constituent Service Representatives and utilize the in take case work management system. Responsibilities include assisting with constituent files, gathering information from different agencies, and answering constituent calls. Students or recent graduates with Social Work degrees preferred but not required.

 Deadline to apply for summer internships is December 10th 2010.
