South Bend Democrats seeking interns for 2024 legislative session

State Representatives from South Bend are inviting college students and recent college graduates to apply for internships with the Indiana House Democratic Caucus. The internships will span the upcoming legislative session running from January through March 2024 and take place in Indianapolis at the Indiana Statehouse.

Interested candidates may apply for internships focused on constituent services, fiscal analysis, graphic and print design, the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, media relations and policy and legislative research. Interns will receive a biweekly stipend of $900 and the chance to earn academic credit (dependent on each intern’s college). This is a full-time internship of 37.5 hours per week.

“Interns have the chance to get a behind the scenes look at how policy is made in Indiana and help elected officials along the way,” State Rep. Maureen Bauer (D-South Bend) said. “Our internship program in the House Democratic Caucus has a great reputation for introducing some incredibly talented individuals to the world of Indiana government and politics, and beyond.” 

This Wednesday, Indiana House Democrats will be present at the IU South Bend Fall Career & Internship Fair. Staff members are seeking to speak with interested candidates about the experience and application process.

No specific major is required for this internship. Students must be at least a sophomore. Applications will be accepted through Oct. 31, with a priority deadline of Oct. 15. More information and a link to apply can be found on the Indiana House Democrats' website.
