Interns in Congressman Larsen’s office are important, contributing members of our Congressional staff.  They have an opportunity to learn about day-to-day functions of the U.S. government and how constituents of the 2nd District of Washington State are helped through our office.

Interns research and write Congressional correspondence, help constituents find information, work with federal agencies, and field constituent phone calls.  Legislative Duties include attending committee hearings or briefings, researching for staff, responding to legislative inquiries from constituents, and a variety of other tasks.

Best of all, interns will have the opportunity to develop marketable skills and work experience that will carry over into any field.

Qualifications:

Applicants may be undergraduate or graduate students who have completed at least one semester/quarter of college.  Students should be interested in the legislative process and have strong verbal, writing and research skills.  Willingness to undertake a variety of projects and the ability to work independently is important as well.  Although it is not a requirement, preference will be given to students from the 2nd District of Washington State, or to students who are from Washington State.  All internships are unpaid.
