Internships

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s New York City office seeks highly motivated, dedicated and civic-minded students to apply for our Summer 2024 internship program. Interested students are invited to apply now at https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/help/internships.

We invite you to share this information and attached flyer with college or graduate students in your network. Our program is designed to cultivate and mentor student leaders with professional development for future public service opportunities. In order to be considered, applicants must submit a current resume, cover letter, writing sample, letter of reference, and transcript (unofficial accepted).

By working directly with Senator Gillibrand’s staff, interns are provided a unique perspective to engage with government work in the local office of a federally elected representative. Interns have the opportunity to engage with key functions of Senator Gillibrand’s New York City office, such as interacting directly with constituents, attending events and helping to manage relationships with community leaders and organizations, amongst other assignments.

Please note that our office offers unpaid educational internships. However, a $500 stipend (intended to defray the cost of commuting) is available to qualified summer interns in our New York City office. 

Questions? Please contact Gillibrand_InternshipsNYC@gillibrand.senate.gov. Thank you for sharing this information, and we hope to host students from your program soon.

Best,
McKenzie
