In the Washington, DC, office, internships run throughout the fall, spring, or summer semesters for college students.  Although all internships in all offices are unpaid, students gain invaluable work experience.  The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

In Washington, DC, 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.
