Internships
Washington, D.C.
In the DC office, internships run throughout the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Internship hours are typically 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. These hours are flexible to accommodate students’ course schedules, however.
The intern responsibilities will vary. All interns will be asked to answer phones, run errands, and conduct research for the Member and staff. Legislative interns will be asked to attend hearings and briefings for staff, and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. Communications interns will be asked to assist with compiling media clips, drafting press materials like releases and social copy, creating graphics and videos, and transcribing interviews.
As a result, interns learn about the many functions of a congressional office. This is a paid position that is best suited for undergraduate college students. In your application, please specify if you are most interested in Communications or Legislative work, as well as any ties to Michigan’s 11th District.
