The California State Assembly Volunteer Program offers students a unique opportunity to participate in and experience the work of a State Assembly District Office. Many legislators and district and policy staff began their careers in public service with an internship in a District office. It is an invaluable way of understanding California’s democratic legislative processes, as well as an excellent opportunity to build essential career skills while serving your community.
District Office Internship:
Under the direction of the Intern Coordinator, interns will have an opportunity to learn about the operations of an Assembly district office, which includes assisting with general administrative tasks, answering phones, providing assistance on constituent casework, and working in coordination with the team on community events and meetings.
