Internship in Senator Jon Ossoff's Washington, D.C. office

About the Internships

Internship opportunities are available in Senator Jon Ossoff's Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, and Savannah offices. Interns will experience the legislative process firsthand and learn how the Senator and his staff engage with and serve the people of Georgia.

Responsibilities and Qualifications

The internship program welcomes both full-time and part-time students enrolled in four-year colleges and universities, postgraduate colleges, as well as those attending community colleges, junior colleges, and recent graduates. We offer paid and unpaid internships. Interns who are unpaid can receive academic credit. Interns receiving a stipend must have a connection to the state of Georgia, meaning that they must be enrolled at a college or university in Georgia, or they must be Georgia natives attending a college or university outside the state.

As explained below, there are additional criteria for interns who will receive a paid stipend from the Office.

Interns in the Washington, D.C., office have the opportunity to work with the press, legislative, administrative and scheduling teams.

A typical day for D.C. interns may include answering phone calls from Georgians, assisting the Senator's legislative staff with constituent correspondence, researching legislative issues, attending committee hearings, and giving tours of the Capitol.

Those interested in communications are invited to apply for a D.C. press and digital internship. A typical day for press and digital interns may include working with the press team to monitor media, assisting with press releases, helping prepare for interviews and press conferences, and creating posts and other digital products for the senator's social media channels.

Interns in the Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, and Savannah offices will focus on constituent services and learn how we support the people of Georgia.
