Internships

Washington, DC

In my Washington, DC office, internships run throughout the fall, winter/spring or summer semesters for college students. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when Congress is in session, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when not in session.

In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office.

Rhode Island

In my Rhode Island District Office, internships run throughout the fall, winter/spring or summer semesters, and are primarily opportunities for individuals age 18 and older. District Office hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and interns will be generally be scheduled within these hours of operation. In the District Office, intern responsibilities include, but are not limited to, answering incoming telephone calls, drafting correspondence, assisting with constituent service requests, and supporting district-based projects.
