District Office of Representative Harley Rouda
The District Office of Representative Harley Rouda is seeking part-time or full-time interns for Fall 2019. Qualified candidates should be motivated, resourceful, and detail-oriented individuals with a passion for change-making. Although all internships in all offices are unpaid, students gain invaluable work experience. Interns will assist staff with community outreach efforts, answer phones, as well as writing letters and assisting with media clips. While the bulk of internship duties are administrative, our Field and Constituent Services teams are always looking for qualified intern support on a variety of issues. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Ties to California’s 48th Congressional District are not required, but preferred.
To apply for an internship in our District Office, please complete and submit the Internship form at Rouda.house.gov. Please send any and all questions to eric.nong@mail.house.gov.

This was a great help. I walked in, and I was helped right away. I was asked what I want to do in the future and from there on I was asked why. Digging deeper into what I need to do to get into the right path. I am happy I walked into this office. One of the best help I have received.

I had no idea what I wanted to do. I came from a different country with limited job experience and Paolo helped me hone down possible career paths that fit my personality. Amazing!
