Thank you for your interest in working as an intern in my office.
The purpose of our internship program is to provide young people
a hands-on learning experience in the filed of public service.
An internship is an excellent way to learn about the federal legislative
process and about government in general.
Interns build professional relationships and gain practical work
experience by undertaking a variety of administrative and legislative
responsibilities in the office. While a Congressional Intern's basic duties are clerical
in nature, there are opportunities to conduct research, attend
staff meetings and Congressional hearings. General responsibilities
include answering phones, data entry, opening and directing incoming
mail, legislative research, drafting constituent letters, giving
capitol tours and various miscellaneous tasks.
There is no formal application deadline, but please keep in mind
that summer is a popular period for internships and office space
is limited. Internships are unpaid, but arrangements can be made
for the student to receive credit for their internship through
their school or university.
To apply for an internship: please send your resume, cover letter, three references and a writing sample to my Washington office via fax at (202) 225-2422, Attn: Shaun Garrison.
If you have inquiries about internships in my office, feel free
to contact my Intern Coordinator, Shaun Garrison at (202)
225-7084.
