The Internship Placement Process

Politics and Government

Work for politicians or organizations involved in public decision making. Politicians support constituents’ politics and government internships for high school studentsconcerns and draft the legislation to improve social well-being, tax laws, government spending, and much more. Political activism refers to groups or individuals working outside the formal government sector to influence social, political, or economic changes, and justice.

Work in politics or government may involve supporting the campaign to elect a political figure to alter policies among a community or to help run a government office or agency.

A Discovery Politics & Government Intern will get a gliimpse of what it takes to make it in the world of politics, connect with constituents and hear about their important issues, and make a difference in the community. Interns may work on a campaign, lobby to help pass legislation, attend hearings, press conferences, rallies, media relations or other events.

  • Worked for the office of an elected official such a Senator, Assemblyman, or Governor
  • Worked for a political campaign
  • Worked with a government agency or politically oriented non-governmental organization
  • And much, much more...

Testimonials

I spent the summer working in finance at City Hall. The City Counselor and his staff worked closely with me in showing me how a city budget works. This was perfect for me because I love finance and government
- Adam
I was lucky enough to work for a State Senator. At the state senator’s office, I helped with constituent services-housing, transportation, research on legislation and even looked into the case of mayoral control of public schools. My highlight was getting to sit in on a Senate session
- Matt
My internship allowed me to work for a State Assemblyman. I prepared leaflets, constituent responses, and organized a green bag campaign for the State Assemblyman’s office. I got to observe the small details of the political process and the big picture too
- Darnel
I worked at a State Senator’s office. I went on the Senator’s public television show and commented on Mayoral control. This was a culmination of the work I had been doing to address important issues in Harlem’s schools. I also got to write letters to constituent from the Senator. I know now that I want to be a Public Defender
