INTERN IN CONGRESS
College to Congress creates pathways for students to intern in Congress who otherwise could not afford to do so. By empowering the next generation of passionate young leaders (you!) to kick-start their careers in public service, we get one step closer to creating a Congress that is truly reflective of America. Your journey to a career in public service starts here.
College to Congress wants to help you land your dream internship in Congress and give you the means to make it happen. We fully cover costs associated with interning in DC, including meals, flights to/from DC, housing, and even professional clothing. In addition, we provide professional development seminars to prepare our students to excel during their internships and beyond. Some of these sessions are accessible on C2C-U! After graduation, College to Congress helps our interns secure full-time jobs on Capitol Hill and in public service in order to create sustainable change in Congress. In doing so, we help make Congress more reflective of the people it serves!
APPLICANTS MUST:
• Be a Pell Grant recipient
• Be a current junior or senior in college (at the time of applying) or be a recent graduate or graduate student
• Commit to living and working in Washington, DC during program dates: May 30th - July 30th (8 weeks)

Interns must be eligible to work in the United States.
