STATEHOUSE (Sept. 6, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"This is a great opportunity for young people to gain an insight into the legislative process at the state level," Hostettler said. "It also provides interns valuable skills in demand in the workforce."
Paid, spring-semester intern positions are full time, Monday through Friday, and include free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through the student's college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
According to State Rep. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh), students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, policy, and communications and media relations.
"Our interns are a valuable part of our team during the legislative session," Ledbetter said. "Working during this crucial time of policymaking is of a great benefit to both their career prospects and our state as a whole."
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
