Washington, D.C.
We are now accepting applications for Winter and Spring!
Application Deadline: Friday, November 16th, 2018.
In Congresswoman Lee's 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 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when Congress is in session, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 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.
In addition to traditional legislative internships, there is also one opening for a communications intern. If you are interested in applying for this internship, please specify on your applicaiton.
