[Histmaj] Internship Opportunity for Juniors & Seniors! (Washington State Legislative Internship Program)

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Each January the Washington State Legislature welcomes a cohort of passionate, inquisitive, and hardworking juniors and seniors to serve as non-partisan legislative staff.  This is a full-time, five-days-a-week internship lasting through the whole of winter quarter 2025. Interns will earn a stipend of $2,400 a month during the 2025 session.

Political experience is not necessary, and students of all majors are encouraged to apply. The WSLIP welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds and political ideologies who are active leaders, engaged in campus communities, and excited to learn about government while gaining practical job skills. Whether your interest is in law, business, communications, environmental policy, public health, or elsewhere, there is a place for you as a legislative intern. Interns are matched with legislators in the State House, or the Senate based on interest areas and political ideology. The program also has opportunities for interns to serve as caucus staff, focusing on policy or communications. UW- Seattle students who participate in the program are required to register for 15 cr of POL S 497 during the winter quarter. A POL S adviser will reach out regarding the registration process if you accept a position.

WSLIP coordinators will be offering two days of in person information sessions for any interested students on October 10th and 11th. Students do not need to sign up for a specific timeslot. You can show up at a session that best fits your schedule.
