Congressman Mccarthy now accepting Summer Internship applications

The Office of Congressman Kevin Mccarthy is now accepting applications for summer internships. The deadline for applications is Friday, March 19, 2021.

Congressman Mccarthy is currently accepting applications for the Summer Internship Program. Successful applicants are generally college students who will have completed at least their first year of postsecondary studies with a minimum 3.0 Grade Point Average and who possess good writing and computer skills. Preference will be given to residents of California’s 23rd Congressional District, which includes portions of Kern, Tulare, and Los Angeles counties. However, all applications will be considered.

For students from the 23rd Congressional District, the Summer Internship Program is currently scheduled to be an eight-week program. Interns will spend two weeks in the Bakersfield, California district office and six weeks in the Washington, D.C. offices where time is shared between the congressional office and the leadership office. Interns are responsible for their expenses, including transportation and lodging costs, and may be eligible to receive a $2,500 stipend before taxes.

For students outside of the congressional district, the program is slated to span no more than six weeks in the Washington, D.C. Offices. Interns will be responsible for their expenses, including transportation and lodging costs, and may be eligible for a smaller stipend before taxes.

The application deadline is Friday, March 19th.

Applications and supporting documents should be emailed to Robin.lake-foster@ mail.house.gov. While applications must be received no later than Friday, March 19, 2021, individuals are encouraged to submit their application as early as possible as application decisions are made on a rolling basis.
