Internships

The rules of the House of Representatives permit interns and fellows to serve temporarily in the office of a Member of Congress when that service is primarily of educational benefit. Congressman Schiff has made internships available in his office in Washington, D.C., and in his district office in Pasadena in order to provide that experience for students and others who wish to learn more about the workings of a Congressional office and about our country's democratic political process.

Internships in both California and Washington are unpaid and last approximately three months (Washington internships are usually full-time during that period).

To apply for an internship with Congressman Schiff, fill out and send in a completed Internship Application Form to the respective office where you wish to intern.  Students are encouraged to apply for fall internship positions in the Washington, D.C office by August 15th.  There is no deadline for fall internship applications in Rep. Schiff's Pasadena office.

Please note that summer internships are by far the most popular – and we always receive more applications than we can accommodate.  Students should send in their applications for summer internships by March 31.
