STATEHOUSE (Sept. 22, 2025) – Indiana House Republicans are seeking student interns for the 2026 legislative session, according to State Reps. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) and Tim Yocum (R-Clinton).
These paid, full-time internships are open to college students, recent graduates and students in graduate and law school. Heaton said the internship is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.
"This isn't just an internship, it's an opportunity to grow professionally and personally," Heaton said. "Students will leave with skills and experiences that can benefit them for years to come."
Yocum 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.
"Our interns contribute daily to the work we do for Hoosiers at the Statehouse," Yocum said. "From assisting constituents and attending committee meetings, to crafting press releases and working directly with representatives, House internships have much to offer students."
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.
