Internships will begin the first week of January, 2025 and end in April. A mandatory Intern Orientation will be held on the Thursday prior to the beginning of the legislative session on. Each intern will be assigned to a specific legislator by the Intern Coordinator. Placements are based upon applicant’s experience and interests. Interns are required to attend a minimum of 10 days during the legislative session. Specific hours required for the internship will be agreed upon by the intern and his/her assigned legislator. Course credit for the internship will be determined by each intern and his/her respective educational advisor and may have additional requirements. Legislative internships are non-paid positions however, legislative interns who complete program requirements are eligible for a stipend and those driving from outside of Topeka are eligible for mileage reimbursement.
