The White House Internship provides an opportunity to experience day-to-day life at the White House while working on a variety of tasks and projects.

In addition to normal office duties, interns attend weekly lectures,
volunteer at special events, participate in tours, and contribute to a
community service project in the Washington, D.C. area. White House
Internships are unpaid positions and participants are responsible for
arranging their own transportation and housing. Approximately 100 interns are chosen each spring, summer, and fall to participate in this highly competitive program.

We invite you to apply. Please read the Intern Application (pdf) and the
White House Office descriptions carefully. Office descriptions can help you determine your areas of interest and assist you in making an informed decision about which offices might fit your qualifications. Interns will be selected based on their application and demonstrated interest in public service.
