Description:
The Office of Representative Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) is accepting applications for Fall
2026 legislative interns in our West Chester, Reading, and Washington, D.C. offices. This
internship will run from mid-August through mid-December. Both full and part time internships are available, and we offer stipends to applicants, with accommodations for Pell-eligible applicants. Our internship program has returned to in-person work with flexible telework options should interns need to work from home.
Responsibilities:
Responsibilities range from helping constituents, to doing research and drafting memos for
our legislative staff, to staffing the Congresswoman in hearings or meetings. We offer
interns the opportunity to see Congress up close and from the inside.
Qualifications:
Ideal applicants are self-starters who bring a customer service mindset and a passion for
community service. Applicants must be intellectually curious, willing to spend a lot of time
on the phone and write well. Prior volunteer, leadership, and work experience are a plus. Ties to PA-06 are also a plus.
Instructions:
Please submit applications through the Legislative Internship form at https://houlahan.house.gov/services/internships.htm. Due to a high volume of applicants, you will likely only be contacted if you are selected for an interview.

This office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on race, religion, disability, age, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, LGBTQ identification, family status, or military status. Women, people of color, and other members of traditionally underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
