We try to provide an educational opportunity, in either our District or Washington, DC office, for many 2^nd District Louisiana students.  The number of interns serving at any one time is governed by space and financial limitations, as well as office needs.

The application deadline for Summer 2006 internships in the Washington office is March 17. Notifications will be made by March 31 so that students will have time to finalize their living arrangements. We do not offer housing, but you may check out the local universities (Howard, Georgetown, George Washington, American, or Catholic).  The universities offer housing for summer interns for an affordable monthly fee.

Please send or fax a resume and cover letter to the following address:

Office of Rep. William J. Jefferson
2113 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

Phone:  202-225-6636

OTHER SUMMER INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) also has a summer internship program that places students in our office and provides housing and a stipend.  For information on that program, please check out the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Internships.
