High School Senior Internship Program:
The Office of U.S. Senator Brian Schatz is looking for enthusiastic, self-motivated, and involved high school seniors for the Schatz Seniors High School Internship Program. The Schatz Seniors internship provides a hands-on learning opportunity about the U.S. Senate, creates a forum for students to share issues and information with the Senator and his staff, and encourages students to be leaders and advocates in their schools and communities. Activities will involve working with outreach staff, identifying issues of interest in their school and community, and attending and staffing special events.
This is not an office position and students should miss little or no class time in performing the tasks or assignments related to the program. The internship generally runs from October - April, and interns must commit for the full term.
Public, private, charter, and homeschool seniors may apply. Students must have a GPA of 2.5 or better and have personal access to email throughout the internship. Schatz Seniors will be selected based on their involvement in their community (jobs, activities, and responsibilities), diversity of interests and life experiences, and demonstrated leadership involvement.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2016 – 2017 Schatz Seniors High School Internship Program. Applications are due by 5:59pm HST on Friday, September 16, 2016, but interested students are strongly encouraged to apply early.
Our staff is available to provide more information or speak at high schools or school associations about the program. Please contact our Honolulu office at 808-523-2061.
