Washington, DC

In my Washington, DC office, internships run throughout the fall, spring or summer semesters for college students. Although all internships in all offices are unpaid, students gain invaluable work experience. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. when Congress is in session, and 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when not in session.

In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office.

Applications for Fall 2014 are now closed. If you would like to apply for a Spring 2015 internship, please send a cover letter and resume to AZ09Resumes@mail.house.gov. Cover letters should be addressed to Taylor Reak, the Internship Director in the Washington office.

The deadline for Spring applications is Monday, December 1 at 11:59pm.
