We are reaching out on behalf of Congressman Sean Casten’s office to let you know about internship opportunities to pass along to your students for both our Washington, D.C. and Lombard offices this summer. As an office representing the 6th congressional district of Illinois, we are excited about the opportunity to recruit students from Illinois colleges and universities for this program.
Applications for our summer internship program will be open from March 3rd through April 1st, 2025. The form to apply can be accessed here.
Legislative interns in the Washington, D.C. office will assist with day-to-day operations of the office, including answering calls from constituents, attending committee hearings and briefings, working on projects with legislative and communications staff, scheduling and leading tours of the U.S. Capitol, and assisting with constituent correspondence for our Mail Program. Interns will have the opportunity to gain insight into the legislative process, network with staff, and learn about the inner workings of a congressional office. The Washington, D.C. office is seeking interns with a strong attention to detail and a readiness to learn, who are able to work a full-time in-person schedule, Monday-Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
District office interns in the Lombard, IL office will assist with office operations, including answering calls from constituents, assisting caseworkers in helping constituents navigate federal agencies, performing research for our outreach and casework teams, drafting letters, and assisting with various projects. Interns will also have the opportunity to attend virtual webinars hosted by various government agencies and work with staff on district-based projects and events. The Lombard office is seeking interns who are able to work in person, either full or part-time.
The summer internship will run from May 27th through July 25th, 2025. Individuals with ties to Illinois’ sixth district are strongly encouraged to apply.
Thank you,
Caroline Nodus (Washington, D.C. Office) and Toni Smertene (Lombard Office)
