Internships
Internships with your congressional office are available at both Congressman Sablan's Washington D.C. office and in the district offices on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. The internship program is available year-round and is an opportunity for students to gain invaluable work experience. Interns can choose to have their internship be either a paid internship or an unpaid internship that counts toward college credit.
Prospective interns are encouraged to check out the Congressional Award program. Congressional Award participants are given priority considerations for internship opportunities with the congressional office.
Washington, DC
In your Washington, DC office, internships run throughout the fall, spring or summer semesters for college students. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings 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.
Northern Mariana Islands
In your Northern Mariana Islands district office, interns may be asked to do a variety of things, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones, writing letters and assisting with media clips. In addition, interns may be assigned to assist in various constituent case work or work on District-based projects of importance.
