Internships
Congressman Scott Franklin’s office is currently accepting applications for internships in his Washington, D.C. and Lakeland, FL offices.
Internships provide a valuable opportunity to learn more about the legislative branch and to serve constituents from Florida’s 15th Congressional District. Responsibilities will include answering phones, assisting in the constituent correspondence process, conducting legislative research, supporting members of the staff, and assisting with special projects as requested. Interns may also have the opportunity to attend committee hearings, briefings, and to provide constituent tours of the U.S. Capitol once permitted.
This rewarding experience offers students and recent graduates the opportunity to learn about and contribute to the daily operations of a Congressional office.
Successful candidates must have excellent organizational, personal, writing, and communication skills. Individuals with ties to Florida’s 15th District and Florida are preferred, but not required for consideration. Our office hours are Monday-Friday, from 9:00am-6:00pm when the House is in Session and 9:00am-5:00pm during District Work Periods. Part-time schedules require a minimum of 2-3 full-time days per week.
Internships are paid. College credit, if applicable, will be provided. Interested applicants should send a PDF of their cover letter, resume, and three references (not recommendation letters) to our office through the form below or via PDF by emailing our office at FL15internships@mail.house.gov. Please specify whether you are interested in an internship in our Washington, D.C. or Lakeland, FL office.
The Fall 2022 internship session will begin on Monday, September 12 and end on Friday, December 16.
The deadline for Fall 2022 applications is Friday, July 29 and our office expects to release decisions around August 15.
