Internships with Niki Tsongas for US Congress

Congresswoman Niki Tsongas is actively seeking bright, conscientious interns for her Congressional offices in Washington D.C. as well as in Lowell, Lawrence and Acton. She is seeking exceptionally motivated students with strong written and verbal skills. An interest in public policy and current affairs is a must. Because of the competitive nature of the process and the limited number of internships available, anyone interested in participating should apply as soon as possible.

Working in conjunction with Congressional Aides, interns in this offices gain hands-on experience dealing with current issues. The internship experience will help students broaden their knowledge of government beyond theories learned in the classroom by allowing them to see the real world impact of public policy. Interns handle a diverse set of administrative and legislative responsibilities. Working individually and in collaboration with staff, interns have the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects from policy research, to constituent correspondence, to event planning.

Interns are expected to keep abreast of both local and national news, as current policy issues are the basis for most constituent contacts. Moreover, students will benefit from the tremendous learning experience of integrating their knowledge of policy issues with their developing understanding of the inner workings of a Congressional office. Internships in Congresswoman Tsongas' offices foster future leaders of the communities of the Fifth District and beyond.

Application forms are available on  Congressional website: www.tsongas.house.gov. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact Becky Cairns in theCongresswoman's Lowell office by phone at (978) 459-0101 or by email at Becky.Cairns@mail.house.gov.
