Sen. Bennet accepting applications for internships

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is accepting internship
applications from undergraduate students and recent graduates for his
Washington and Colorado offices for the fall and spring semesters of the
2011-12 school year. Internships are available in Colorado Springs,
Denver, Durango, Fort Collins, Grand Junction and Pueblo.

 

Washington interns attend hearings and briefings, research legislative
issues, meet with Congressional officials and staff, conduct U.S.
Capitol tours and draft correspondence.

 

Colorado interns assist constituent advocates as they meet with and
assist Coloradans who need help navigating the federal government,
represent Sen. Bennet at local meetings and events, research legislative
issues and draft correspondence.

 

“Interns are an integral part of my office, providing important support
to me and my staff as we work to serve Coloradans,” Bennet said in
announcing the internships. “Our Colorado and Washington internship
programs provide great opportunities for young Coloradans to learn more
about how government works and the significant issues facing Coloradans
and all Americans and to gain hands-on experience serving their
communities.”

 

The unpaid internships are available on either a full-time or part-time
basis. Fall internships begin in August or September, and Spring
internships begin in January. The deadline to apply for the fall
semester is Aug. 15, and the deadline to apply for the spring semester
is Nov. 15.
