Internships

---

For the right candidate, a Capitol Hill internship can be an excellent way to learn how Congress and Washington work from the inside. Both part-time and full-time internships are available in the Washington, DC and Timonium, MD offices.

Most candidates are college students or recent graduates. Internships last for a three-month period, usually around the academic semesters. To achieve maximum benefit, most students devote at least twenty hours a week to the office. Some colleges and universities offer academic credit as part of Congressional internship programs.

Space is limited, so candidates are encouraged to apply at least two months before the desired semester. We do not have deadlines for Internship applications, but we do encourage that you submit your application as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that the summer is a popular time for internships, so apply early. Also see Congressional Page Program.

DUTIES

Primarily you will be responsible for answering telephones, mail processing, data entry in IQ, stuffing envelopes, and performing other administrative tasks. Other duties include attending legislative hearings and community meetings, writing briefs, conducting legislative research, and drafting correspondence.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply, please submit an internship application, resume, cover letter, and a writing sample.
