Morgan McGarvey DC and Louisville Internship Opportunities


Internship opportunities are available year-round and we encourage all eligible applicants to apply. These internships provide invaluable work experience and significantly contribute to the functionality of the office. There will be interns in both the DC and Louisville offices, so please specify the location of the internship program you are applying for in the subject line.

The objective of the internship program is for students to gain as much experience as possible throughout their tenure and feel connected to all staff and constituents they interact with. Interns should leave the program with substantial knowledge of how a congressional office works, why the U.S. House of Representatives is important, and how the federal government functions overall. It is also important for the interns to leave with a staff-approved resume and writing sample. All interns will be paid, have the opportunity to receive course credit, and must be able to commit to at least 20 hours a week.
