Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC)
“This internship gave me the perfect window into politics and government. The office does a great job exposing interns to every aspect of a congressional office. This helps identify strengths to push and weaknesses to work on. I’ve made some great connections in D.C. and the district as well.”
-Matthew Minkin
"This internship offers insight into the legislative process and allows you to obtain the satisfaction of working in public service. You get the opportunity to work with individuals that will guide you and prepare you for any career field."

Louise Gebauer
Pepperdine University
“Thank you to the Internship Association for providing the opportunity to understand the structural and governmental roots of this country at the federal level. I have learned about the minute details and important discussions, which contribute to helping every constituent. The experience has also offered insight into the many hardships and burdens that so many face in communities so close to mine, and illustrated hope and clarity in a country so full of chaos during an unprecedented time."
-Moxie Thompson
"I’ve learned about all of the integral and important tasks undertaken by the people working for Congress and for the constituents of Pennsylvania, and I am honored to have been a part of this team. I had no idea a Congressional office handled the multitude of issues I have seen. Most surprisingly, the staff and the Congressman genuinely care about the constituents, and do everything they can to help them. Interning here has definitely restored some of my faith in the government, knowing that leaders in this country do care about the people they represent. I am glad to have helped with projects and research, as well as helping constituents. Thank you for such a great internship experience!"

Levi Gross
Cedarville University
I assure you that my time in D.C has been extremely educational. The positive elements of this internship have far outweighed the difficulties. I was lucky enough to visit the House floor and the Speaker’s Balcony. I will never forget those moments and I felt honored to be able to have the opportunity to experience such things.

Karly Matthews
Temple University
I knew that I wanted to go into politics and knew that internships were a way to get my foot in the door, but I almost expected to be mainly shredding paper and doing small research projects. Through this internship, I have learned to be a better listener, to be more empathetic, and to problem-solve.
-Karly
Kate Risser

Being able to give back to the constituency I grew up in is so special. I really appreciate how this internship is so hands on. I genuinely feel valued and am grateful to be given the opportunity to help the people of the District. Even as an intern, I am amazed with how much I can help people.

The experience thus far in Washington DC has been nothing but positive. In addition to helping constituents across the district, I get to help create a good experience for whomever visits the Capitol.
