Internship Program

**Now Accepting Summer 2010 Internship Applications.
Deadline to Apply is February 19, 2010.**

 

Each summer Congressman Bonner sponsors a Congressional Intern Program for students from south Alabama. If you are from Baldwin, Clarke, Escambia, Mobile, Monroe, or Washington County and have completed one semester of college, you are eligible for a congressional internship!

 

As an intern you will work in Congressman Bonner's Washington office. Duties will vary widely from day to day mundane office work (making copies, folding letters, running errands) to attending committee meetings and researching and responding to legislative inquiries. You will also have the opportunity to tour one of the most fascinating, interesting and powerful cities in the world. The hands-on experience you will receive as an intern will prove valuable in the work force.

Each intern receives approximately $850 for the session. Students participating through their college or university intern program or those receiving college credit may not receive a stipend.

 

Every effort will be made to accommodate all applicants; however, in the event more applications are received than can be accommodated, priority will be given to rising seniors who currently reside in the First District of Alabama.

 

A wide variety of housing options are available throughout the Washington, D.C. area for summer interns.  Due to the high demand for summer intern housing, applicants should begin researching housing opportunities as early as possible.
