Internships

In both our Houston and Washington, DC offices, there are 3 sessions for internships: spring, summer, and fall. Internships are targeted to college students and recently graduated students looking to gain experience in and learn more about a congressional office. Paid internships are available in both offices.

The dates of our 2021 internships are: January 4 – May 14 (spring), June 1 – August 13 (summer), and August 30 – December 10 (fall). Dates will change each calendar year. Exact start and end dates, as well as day-to-day hours, can be flexible to accommodate course schedules, if needed. Applications for 2021 internships are now closed. Please check back for 2022 internship dates when they are available.
