Internship Applications
Our office offers a limited number of fall, spring, and summer internships for high schoolers, undergraduates, and recent graduates from undergraduate institutions. Internships are in Senator Booker’s Washington, D.C., Newark, New Jersey, and Camden, New Jersey offices and provide an excellent way to learn first-hand how Congress works.
There will be three sessions for Summer 2024: two six-week sessions for college students and recent college graduates in all three offices, and a High School Accelerated Session for high school students in the Newark and Camden Offices.
You may find the sessions dates below; all applications are due Friday, April 26 at 11:59 PM. Applicants applying to one of the six-week sessions may elect for a stipend or college credit.
Please note: we have continued to closely monitor the COVID-19 public health crisis, and will adjust the program format accordingly to meet the health and safety needs of interns and employees.

Interns in our Washington D.C. office will also do general administrative tasks, such as answering phones and processing incoming mail and email.
