Republican National Committee Internship Program
Want to make the most of your fall semester? Apply to be an intern at the Republican National Committee!
The Republican National Committee’s Intern Program is a structured program sponsored by the RNC which allows undergraduates a chance to explore and enhance their passion for politics first hand. Interns gain practical work experience, establish connections with leaders, and perhaps most importantly, become better prepared to jump-start a political career or land a full-time job when they graduate.
If you want to have the time of your life while helping to power the party, all you need to do is fill out the official application. Send it along with three letters of recommendation and your current résumé to the Internship Coordinator at the RNC via e-mail Internships@rnchq.org, fax 202-863-8835, or regular mail:
Republican National Committee Attn: Intern Coordinator 310 First Street, SE Washington, DC 20003
