Internships

Our office offers internships in both our Washington, DC, and CA-16 offices. The programs are open to college students and recent graduates passionate about public policy and community service. Please do not call our offices, or appear in-person, to express interest.

Both internship programs run throughout the fall, spring, and summer semesters. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' course schedules but generally run from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Interns are able to work for a maximum of 120 days between our district and DC offices.
