STATEHOUSE (Oct. 3, 2025) – Indiana House Republicans are seeking student interns for the 2026 legislative session, according to State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka).
These paid, full-time internships are open to college students, recent graduates and students in graduate and law school. Borders said the internship is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.
"Our internship program provides students with hands-on experience at the Statehouse," Borders said. "Interns play an important role in serving Hoosiers while building skills for their future careers."
Hostettler said interns will work in the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis full time Monday through Friday during the legislative session, which starts in January and concludes in March.
"Interns play a key role during the legislative session, directly assisting lawmakers and staff," Hostettler said. "This internship offers invaluable experience working at the Statehouse and gaining skills that will apply to jobs in a number of fields."
Positions are available in legislative operations, policy and communications.
Interns will be paired with a staff member to work directly with an assigned group of state representatives. During this spring semester internship, students will have opportunities to interact with state legislators, state agencies and private sector organizations, as well as participate in a weekly speaker series featuring Indiana civic leaders.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
