Internships

The Lewiston, Bangor, and Washington D.C. offices of Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02) are seeking full- or part-time interns for Spring 2026. Internships in the office are paid, available for college credit, or may be funded through another program or university. Interns will work for 12-16 weeks between January and May, generally between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

In district offices, interns may be asked to do a variety of things, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones, writing letters, and attending meetings on behalf of the Congressman. In addition, interns may be assigned to assist in various constituent case work and projects for constituents. The district internship provides participants with a first-hand understanding of how members of Congress assist constituents with federal issues.

In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They may be asked to answer phones, research legislation for Congressman Golden and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings, prepare communications materials, and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office.

Applications can be submitted by completing the form below. Applicants will be able to state a preference for office location.

Preference will be given to applicants who are a current or former resident of Maine and have completed two semesters of college.

Applications are due by December 8. If you have any questions or experience technical difficulties submitting the form below, please email Golden.Internships@mail.house.gov.
