This news release of internships came via the in-box.
(Washington, D.C.) - Congressman Tim Walz is now accepting intern applications for the fall of 2007 in his three congressional offices.
"Interns provide essential support in each of my offices," said Walz. "Our internship program offers students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the legislative process, greater familiarity with the way our government functions, and an appreciation of public service."
The Walz internship program offers students and recent graduates valuable educational and professional experience in a fast-paced and exciting environment. Interns conduct legislative research, help respond to
constituent mail, and work with staff to assist constituents having difficulties with federal agencies. Interns also help plan and execute events and assist press staff.Walz internships are open to students and recent graduates over the age of 18. Interns attending a post-secondary institution may be able to receive educational credit for their work in Congressman Walz's office. Applicants from Minnesota's First Congressional District receive preference; however, other applicants will be considered as space permits.
Applications are available on Congressman Walz's website.
Although internship applications are accepted at all times, fall candidates who submit their applications by August 1 will receive strong preference, and spaces often fill quickly. Prospective interns should submit their applications via email to the office in which they wish to work. The relevant email addresses are as follows:
Washington, D.C. Office
