Congresswoman Eleanor Norton

The Office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton provides year-round internship opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students interested in gaining congressional work experience in either the Capitol Hill or District office.

Responsibilities of congressional interns include but are not limited to answering telephones, opening and sorting mail, giving Capitol tours to constituents, tracking legislation, attending community events, assisting with constituent casework, coordinating press-related activities, attending hearings, and preparing constituent correspondence. These tasks give students a direct view of the inner workings of Capitol Hill.
