Description:
The White House Internship Program provides a unique opportunity to
gain job experience and an inside look at the life of White House
staff while building leadership skills. This hands-on program is
designed to mentor and cultivate today’s young leaders, strengthening
their understanding of the Executive Office and preparing them for
future public service possibilities.
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.
White House Internships are full-time unpaid positions and
participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation
and housing for the duration of the program.
