Internships

Congressman George Whitesides offers paid internships in his Washington, D.C., and California offices.
Our goal is to provide each intern with a meaningful experience that will enhance understanding of the legislative process and the role of Congress. Intern responsibilities may include:
- Answering phones
- Researching legislation
- Administrative work as assigned
- Giving U.S. Capitol tours
- Attending briefings and hearings
- Assisting staff with public events
- Assisting with constituent casework
- Additionally, interns will have the opportunity to specialize in legislative assignments that align with their interests.
Internships are offered in both D.C. and California during the fall, spring, and summer semesters. District-based internships are open to high school and college students, and internships in D.C. are available to college students and recent graduates.
Internship applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
