STATEHOUSE (Sept. 6, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Stephen Bartels (R-Eckerty), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"Young professionals from all types of backgrounds can serve as interns during the legislative session," Bartels said. "It's an opportunity for them to apply what they've learned in the classroom in a professional setting."
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.
State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"No matter your major, there is a lot of value in interning with our team," May said. "We welcome students with different backgrounds and experiences, as long as they want to work hard and learn."
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
