U.S. Senator John Boozman today
announced that he is seeking summer
interns for his Washington, D.C. and state offices.
“This is an important time for our
nation. This is an excellent opportunity for any Arkansas college students who
have an interest in government to get involved, learn the inner-workings of the
U.S. Senate and earn college credit. I encourage all interested students to
apply,” said Boozman.
The Washington, D.C. intern program
emphasizes both practical and educational aspects of working on Capitol Hill
from the first-hand perspective. Interns support the daily operation of the
Senate office by working closely with the legislative, communications and
constituent services staff members. They will have an opportunity to learn
about the legislative process by attending Committee hearings and watching floor
proceedings from the Senate gallery. In addition, interns will provide
constituents with private tours of the U.S. Capitol Building.
Students may also apply to serve in one of
the state offices where each will have the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge about how a Senator’s
office provides constituent services, interacts with the community, and serves
as a liaison to the Washington, D.C. office. Interns will work closely with
state staff to help individual constituents who have problems with federal
agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security
Administration. Boozman’s seven state offices serve the various regions of
Arkansas—Lowell, Fort Smith, Mountain Home, Jonesboro, Little Rock, Stuttgart,
and El Dorado.
