The Legislative Internship places interns in a State Representative or Senator’s office for the duration of a legislative session. Interns learn the inner workings of the legislature, develop invaluable networks, and gain insights into what leadership looks like in the real world. Interns exit the program with a broad spectrum of new experiences and professional skills, as well as, more often than not, opportunities to continue on either in the legislature or other political work.
Interns who complete the Fall Development Internship are invited to apply for the Legislative Internship. The Legislative Internship follows the Oregon legislature’s timeline, with alternating short sessions during even years and long sessions during odd years. Every legislative office has their own logistical structure and priority areas, so APICCO makes internship placements to fit the interns’ focuses as best possible. APICCO also convenes regular check-ins with interns to help flesh out their goals for the program and identify any opportunities for further development.
