Internships

Congressional Internships are an exciting opportunity to learn more about public service and the legislative process. 

In the Washington, D.C. office, internships run throughout the fall, spring or summer semesters for college students. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Both the Illinois and Washington, D.C. offices offer monthly stipends.

In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, produce content for the press shop, attend hearings, 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.
