Congressman Guthrie is pleased to offer internships to qualified college students and recent college graduates in our offices in Bowling Green, KY and in Washington, DC. The purpose of these paid internships is to educate students to the workings of the U.S. House of Representatives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.
While intern responsibilities vary by office, primary duties include providing constituent services to callers, assisting staff with research, attending hearings and briefings, and performing administrative duties. Interns have the opportunity to participate firsthand in the functions of the federal government, gaining valuable experience not learned in the classroom. Intern projects vary in size and scope and can range from legislation to press to constituent services.
While priority is given to constituents of Kentucky’s Second District, all candidates that submit completed applications will be considered. Successful candidates must demonstrate a pleasant office demeanor, the ability to multi-task in a fast-paced atmosphere, and the desire to learn about the legislative branch.
Internship programs are offered in the fall and spring semesters, as well as during the summer. Scheduling varies based on office and season. Deadlines are below.
Deadline for summer applications: March 22
Deadline for fall applications: July 15
Deadline for spring applications: November 1
