Political and Advocacy Internships

nternships:


The Washington, DC office of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) is looking for unpaid interns for the summer. First-hand experience in her congressional office will provide interns with an unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the development of public policy and governmental affairs. An internship with Congresswoman Slaughter also offers unique insight into the legislative process and parliamentary procedure, as she is Ranking Member of the powerful Committee on Rules. Responsibilities include drafting letters to constituents, attending committee hearings, writing summary briefs, researching various issues for the legislative staff and assisting with office duties, including answering phones and sorting mail. Interns are an integral part of the team and are given substantial opportunities to learn and grow in a fast-paced and active office. Candidates with upstate New York connections are especially encouraged to apply. Interns must be available at least two full days per week. Please indicate availability and available start date in cover letter. Applicants should e-mail cover letters and resumes to Selam Maru at ny28resumes@gmail.com by April 15.
