POCC Interns have been hired from college campuses all across America to work summer internships in our federal government. Arriving in early June & working thru late July, interns work directly for United States Senators or House Representatives in their Washington DC offices in the halls of congress. The experience includes staff briefings, tours of government buildings, installations, and historical landmarks as well as private meetings with high-ranking government officials.
In addition to the positions themselves being paid, intern’s airfare to/from Washington D.C. and summer housing expenses are covered as well.
This program provides a level of access, resume enhancement & personal network-building typically reserved for a privileged few attending elite universities. POCC Interns have come from small community colleges as well as Ivy League schools in the northeast. At this time positions are only available to ethnic-minorities, though as funding expands we anticipate opening the program to all American college students. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, citizens of the United States and able to pass an extensive background check as is necessary for any and all positions in the U.S. Congress. These positions require a professional wardrobe. Internship positions are open to all majors as well as undeclared.
