Internships

The Office of Representative Becca Balint (VT-At Large) is seeking paid interns for Fall 2023 in the D.C. and Burlington offices. 

Interns’ responsibilities will include logging voicemails and mail, organizing constituent correspondence, answering constituent calls, conducting research, attending outreach events and preparing briefings, and other administrative/outreach work as needed.

Ideal candidates will be compassionate listeners with strong interpersonal skills, and a commitment to public service. Successful interns will possess excellent writing and organizational skills, a strong attention to detail, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. Knowledge of federal and state programs, including lived experience of navigating federal assistance programs, is a plus.

Fall interns will be part-time, working 15-20 hours a week from August/September to November/December. Interns will be compensated with a salary of $3,900 per term.

FOR DC APPLICANTS: Interested applicants should send a resume and cover letter in a PDF to Internships.Balint@mail.house.gov with the subject line “Fall Internship – DC”

FOR BURLINGTON APPLICANTS: Interested applicants should send a resume and cover letter in a PDF to Internships.Balint@mail.house.gov with the subject line “Fall Internship – Burlington”

Applications for the fall internship are due on June 30 at 5pm.

The office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Congresswoman Balint believes that policymaking and governance is improved by the perspective of diverse identities and experiences and that we need more diverse representation at all levels of local, state, and federal government. She recognizes that political internships and the networking they provide can be a steppingstone to political leadership, and that these opportunities have historically been available primarily to those with existing connections, and/or the means to pursue an unpaid internship. In recognition of this, diverse applicants are encouraged to apply and all intern positions through the office are paid.
