Internship

Congressional Internship Program

2025 Internships will be offered in Congresswoman Sewell’s Washington, D.C. office as well as her District offices in Alabama located in Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and Selma.  A congressional internship gives deserving students the opportunity to experience first hand the inner workings of a Congressional office.

Each intern will spend six weeks working in with the Washington, D.C. office of Congresswoman Terri Sewell. Interns will participate fully in the duties of the office and assist with constituent correspondence, research, and other tasks as assigned.

What happens during a District Office Congressional Internship?

Each intern will spend the entire summer working with one or more of Congresswoman Sewell’s offices in Alabama’s 7th District-- Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and/or Selma. Interns will participate fully in the duties of the office, assist with programming, and work directly with constituent service.

Interns will be selected based on academic performance, leadership abilities, and demonstrated financial need. Computer and office skills are also a requirement for selection.
