Internships
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (CA-51) offers internships in both her Washington, D.C. and San Diego, CA offices. These internships provide young adults with the opportunity to learn more about the workings of a congressional office and to see the legislative process first-hand.
All interns are compensated and have the choice between $16.85/hour pay, academic credit, or both. Unfortunately, international students cannot be paid by the federal government.
The application period for Summer 2024 is now OPEN.
The D.C. internship will run from early May through the end of July, and interns must be able to work in Washington, D.C. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until March 22 at 5:00 pm ET.
The San Diego internship will run from mid-May through early September, and interns must be able to work in San Diego, CA. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until March 29 at 5:00 pm PT.
