Internship Program

If you are a college student with an active interest in government, you should consider the unique experience of joining Sen. Leahy's staff as an intern. The internship program provides an opportunity to experience the legislative process at work while becoming an integral part of the staff.

Internships are available in the Burlington, Montpelier, and Washington, DC offices.  Interns work part-time during the fall or spring school semesters or full-time in the summer.  Each intern will be given a variety of tasks, including researching legislative issues, drafting letters and memoranda, attending hearings and briefings, and performing general administrative duties.

To apply for the Washington, DC or Vermont programs, please complete the application form and submit it with a cover letter, resume, college transcript, and two letters of recommendation. All application materials should be faxed to the addresses below for the program you wish to apply.
