U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, AL-07, announced Monday that her Washington D.C. and district offices are now accepting applications for fall 2024 interns. College students and recent graduates interested in government and public service are invited to apply for a chance to spend the semester learning about the inner workings of a congressional office. Interns will work closely with Rep. Sewell’s staff on a variety of important legislative, communications, and administrative tasks. Applicants must be enrolled in a college or university (juniors and older) or have recently graduated.
“Our interns are an integral part of our team,”said Rep. Sewell. “Each semester, our interns work closely with me and my staff to serve the people of Alabama’s 7th Congressional District while gaining the skills, experience, and connections to prepare them for successful careers. If you have an interest in government and public service, I encourage you to apply!”
Interns will have the opportunity to research legislation, draft letters, compile media clips, answer constituent calls, and attend legislative hearings, briefings, and seminars. Candidates should be proactive, professional, dependable, and have an interest in federal policy and the legislative process. Candidates should also possess strong written and oral communication skills, the ability to multitask, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.
