http://leg.wa.gov/Internships/Pages/InternshipApplication.aspx
They will accept applications between now and October 16th. The 2016
internship will run from January 6, 2016, through March 10, 2016.
Starting this year, the Washington State Legislative Internship Program
will have a Priority deadline of October 6th, and a final deadline of
October 16th.
The Legislative Internship is an amazing opportunity for students to
learn about the formation of public policy at first hand while
developing the sorts of transferable professional skills that employers
are looking for. On a day-to-day basis, interns are tracking
legislation, attending hearings and meetings, communicating with
constituents, and conducting research for state legislators.
Additional information about the internship, about the application and
other frequently asked questions can be found on their website:
