February 21, 2025 – Students interested in learning more about our national government have a great opportunity through our state’s representative Vince Fong in Washington D.C.
Summer internship applications have opened for the opportunity to work in Congress, respond to the needs of constituents, write legislation, and understand California’s 20th Congressional District. Interns will work directly with Representative Fong and his staff regarding issues that concern the district and the issues of the day.
“I started my journey in public service as an intern, and it gave me the opportunity to meet mentors and community leaders who got me involved and engaged in our community,” shared Rep. Fong. “I encourage all students to apply to the internship, and especially residents of California’s 20th Congressional District to learn more about Congress and to work for our great community.”
Prospective applicants should be enrolled in college or recently graduated and have at least a 3.0 GPA. Internships are available in Bakersfield, Clovis, and Washington D.C. Applications are due no later than March 14 and can be found online at fong.house.gov/services/internships.
For more questions, applicants are encouraged to contact the Washington, D.C. office at (202)225-2915.
