Internship Opportunity (unpaid) with The Office of U.S. Representative John P. Sarbanes
The office of Congressman Sarbanes is seeking service-oriented undergraduate students for internships in the Towson District Office.
Responsibilities include greeting visitors, opening and distributing mail, data entry, supporting administrative needs in the office, assisting with constituent casework and other duties relating to constituent services. Additional opportunities include attending staff meetings, attending events outside the office with the Congressman or staff, attending meetings with constituents, representing the office at an outreach venue, various long term projects and trips to our Washington, DC office.
Internships can be tailored to emphasize those policy areas in which a student has a particular interest. Students with a focus on social work or counseling will have opportunities to work directly with constituents performing intake, assessment and learning how to use Congressional resources to resolve constituents’ issues.
Applicants must be reliable with the ability to multi-task and strong communication and organizational skills.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. The office will consider both students who intend to use the internship to earn college credits and those looking to expand their experiences. The office will coordinate with a student’s school to ensure that requirements for credit are met. To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to Meg Stephenson by email, meg.stephenson@mail.house.gov. To request additional information please use above email address.
