In spring 2023 there will be internship opportunities in district office for Sean Casten. The program will start Mid-January and run through May.
District office interns will be provided the opportunity to assist the office in helping constituents navigate federal agencies ranging from topics like immigration, Medicare, and veterans affairs. District office interns will also be able to attend virtual webinars held by different government agencies and work with staff on various district-based projects and events. They will also be asked to assist with office work including answering phones and drafting letters. The internship will be held both virtually and in-person this Spring, depending on for which internship position an applicant applies.
The internship categories include Constituent Relations and Casework interns, who will be in-person assisting with the frontline operations, helping staff, and getting hands-on experience with casework and outreach. Research internships, which can be virtual, will conduct research for our outreach and casework teams (ex: list building, community news tracking, local issue background research, and event brainstorming). Applicants can indicate that they are open to participating in any of the three types of internships. Stipends are available for a couple interns who have financial need.

The application deadline is November 11, 2022. They will work with school schedules and allow interns to only work certain days of the week at certain times, though the applicant must be available at some point between 9 am – 5 pm. There is a preference for students with in-district ties.
