Job Description

The Office of United States Senator Ankit Jain invites college students willing to spend their summer in D.C. to join our office as a summer intern. This exciting opportunity will give you hands-on work experience to help decide if a career in local and/or national politics is right for you. This is not an internship that involves low-level busywork. You will be a vital part of the office of Senator Jain and be given real responsibilities. The office is on the frontlines of attacks by Congress and President Trump on D.C. autonomy, and you have the opportunity through this internship to play a large role in fighting back for our democracy. The office is currently evaluating a Mayoral order freezing certain D.C. government funding due to Congress cutting over $1 billion from D.C.’s budget. As a result, this internship is currently unpaid. If conditions change, we may be able to offer a $3,600 stipend.

Responsibilities will vary depending on the needs of the office and may include but are not limited to:

  • Scheduling and supporting Senator Jain in meetings with members of Congress, D.C. councilmembers, and their staff; attending congressional oversight meetings; and joining Senator Jain at community events. Past interns have joined Senator Jain in meetings with Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, Councilmember Matt Frumin, and other elected officials.
  • Creating infographics and videos, drafting responses to constituent service requests, and summarizing legislation for a lay audience.
  • Writing the office’s bi-weekly newsletter and developing fun and creative content for Sen. Jain’s social media accounts.
  • Monitoring congressional actions/hearings and communicating with other offices about legislation relating to D.C. autonomy.
  • Brainstorming ways to increase involvement in D.C. Home Rule efforts and to increase participation in and visibility of the D.C. statehood movement
  • Other activities to support the office as needed.

The internship will start on June 2nd, and interns are expected to work 20 hours per week for 10 weeks. The intern will report to the Staff Assistant. This is a hybrid internship opportunity, and while interns will not need to come into the office to complete all work, interns should be available to attend in-person events. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.

Please send your resume and cover letter to Karen.Szulgit@dc.gov
