Our Summer Internship Program offers the opportunity for college students and young professionals to learn firsthand how our government and legislative process operates. Applicable candidates will cover a range of responsibilities vital to the success of a Congressional office such as constituent input, legislative writing, policy briefings/hearings, and more. Although unpaid, these internships offer a once in a lifetime opportunity and the possibility of earning college credit.

Congressman Allen stated, “Interning in a congressional office offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the legislative process and how a congressional office operates. Interns play an integral part in carrying out the functions of our day-to-day operations. We practice a bottom-up approach to empower others to be the best that they can be and gain experience that will help them in the future. My staff and I look forward to welcoming students to Washington D.C. and to Team Allen.”
