Description
Our Fall 2024 application opens July 15th and it closes on August 15th. The internship is open to undergraduate students from all majors and disciplines. Internships in our office are primarily offered as an educational opportunity for our students. Our district office handles casework, outreach, policy, and local community issues. Interns are primarily tasked with handling casework intake and drafting constituent correspondence. We ask for a 10-15 hour a week commitment and schedule around work and academic commitments. Interns are offered the opportunity to gain professional skills, gain insider knowledge about the inner workings of a congressional office and leave their mark in the Second Congressional District.
Additionally, this semester our office has teamed up with a state legislative office for interns to learn the differences and similarities between state and federal policymaking. Interns will be offered the opportunity to shadow in a state legislative office for a day. Interns will also talk to staff members about their careers and fields of interest. We also provide students with seminars on how to read legislation and how the federal budget process works.
