The program offers hands-on congressional experience in legislative research, constituent services and communications, with applications due November 30.
U.S. Representative Terri Sewell, D-Alabama, is accepting applications for Spring 2027 internships in her Washington, D.C., and district offices. College students and recent graduates interested in government and public service can apply to spend the semester working with Sewell’s staff on legislative, communications and administrative tasks.
“My internship program is an important part of my commitment to cultivating the next generation of leaders and changemakers,” Sewell said. “As a former congressional intern myself, I know firsthand how these experiences can open doors, build confidence, and inspire a lifelong commitment to public service. I am proud to offer students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in Congress, learn from my dedicated team, and help make a difference for the people of Alabama’s 7th Congressional District. I encourage all college students and recent graduates with an interest in government and public service to apply!”
Interns can research legislation, draft letters, compile media clips, answer constituent calls and attend legislative hearings, briefings and seminars.
Students with connections to Alabama who will complete their senior year in an undergraduate program by May 2027 are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates should be proactive, professional and dependable, with an interest in federal policy and the legislative process. They should also have strong written and oral communication skills, the ability to multitask, attention to detail and a willingness to learn.
