Fellows will get first-hand experience working in the federal government and develop a better understanding of federal law-making processes by working with either a U.S. Senator, Congressperson, or Committee. You will learn more about the process of implementing democratic innovations, help elevate them to wider audiences, and contribute to conversations about democracy. Duties will vary by internship but could include assisting staff with research, writing, and constituent service projects, daily office support tasks, preparing news clips and briefing memos, and attending Congressional hearings and meetings. This is a hands-on opportunity to gain real-world experience, build your network, and make a meaningful impact in politics.
