Welcome to the Public Affairs Internship Program Website
Our goal is to help students gain firsthand experience in the world of public affairs. Interns have worked at all levels of public life, from the court house to the White House. As an intern, you will receive on-the-job training and practical experience in government, in a non-profit organization, or maybe an interest group that lobbies all of the above.

What do interns do?
Interns work with everyone from Senators to welfare recipients.... They are asked to do everything from copying bills to writing the legislation that other interns copy. 
Some students work just a few hours a week; others work full-time; still others spread their internships over more than one quarter. The choice is yours. The nature of your internship depends on what you put into it.

We want to be flexible in finding the right way to making your internship match your goals -- for school, for your career, and for the internship itself. If you are interested in finding an internship, we can help you look. If you have already secured an internship, we can help you get credit for it.

Please take a moment to look though the basic rules and procedures -- then go ahead and apply!
