White House Internships


LAST CHANCE TO APPLY FOR

THE WHITE HOUSE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM AND THE D.C. SCHOLARS PROGRAM AT THE WHITE HOUSE

IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

 

Do you know leaders interested in interning at the White House for the Obama Administration?  Encourage them to apply today for the Fall 2016 White House Internship Program – the final internship opportunity in the Obama Administration.  This select group of young men and women from across the country dedicate their time, talents, energy, and service to better the White House, the community, and the nation.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens, 18 years of age or older before the first day of the internship, and meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at a college, community college, or university (two-to-four year institution)
  • Graduated from an undergraduate or graduate degree program at a college, community college, or university (two-to-four year institution) no more than two years before the first day of the internship
  • A veteran of the United States Armed Forces who possesses a high school diploma or its equivalent and has served on active duty, for any length of time, in the two years preceding the first day of the internship

 

Every summer since the start of the Obama Administration in 2009, graduating high school seniors from public and charter high schools in the District of Columbia have been invited to apply for a part-time summer internship opportunity at the White House through the D.C. Scholars Program at the White House. 

 

Additional information on both programs, including eligibility requirements, application materials, and internship timelines are available on our website: https://www.whitehouse.gov/participate/internships/about. 

 

How can you help?

  • Promote the White House Internship Program at your alma mater.  Email internship_info@who.eop.gov for more information.
  • Encourage eligible applicants to apply before the deadline – the final intern application cycle in the Obama Administration!  The Fall 2016 White House Internship Program application cycle closes on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at 11:59 PM, EST and the application for the D.C. Scholars Program at the White House closes on Sunday, April 24, 2016 at 11:59 PM EST.  Application questions should be directed to intern_application@who.eop.gov and DCScholar_Info@who.eop.gov.

I plan to attend and get deputized!
I also plan to bring my son Evan who will be home for Spring Break from college!
Don't forget your teen voters! Hopefully when Evan is home this summer he can participate in voter registration drives! I recall registering voters for the first time as a grad student in Philadelphia at a grocery store near campus for Mayor Wilson Goode's bid to become Mayor...and later in earnest in 2008 at Frenchy's  from 3pm-2am and at Denny's the past few years with my Links Chapter!  Very rewarding work ...
