Good Afternoon,

 

The White House Internship Office has posted a sample Fall internship
application. Applicants will be able to start applying via our webform on
May 1st. Please note that the deadline for the Fall application has moved up
to May 26th so we are able to get back to our applicants quicker.

 

Those selected to participate in the program will gain valuable job
experience and an inside look at the White House staff while building
valuable leadership skills.  In addition to normal office duties, interns
will supplement their learning experience by attending a weekly lecture
series hosted by senior White House staff, help at White House social
events, and volunteer in community service projects.   

 

If students would like to begin preparing information for their application
they can visit our website at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/internships/
to view the sample Fall application.  Please note: Candidate materials
submitted prior to the official application release date (May 1st) will not
be considered.  Only materials received after May 1st and on or before May
26th will be reviewed.
