Internship

FRI interns will work standard work hours from 9:00am – 5:00pm with the occasional exceptions for staffing  events and aiding in special projects. Interns will assist four members of the FRI team in tasks ranging from  data entry to helping staff/set up for receptions. Interns will work directly with FRI staff on projects along with  Washington, DC lobbyists, Congressional staff and members of Congress. The internship role is dynamic with  each day bringing a new set of responsibilities and tasks.

Overview: 

FRI strives for summer interns to learn as much as possible about Capitol Hill, fundraising, the campaigns process and  the many elements it takes to achieve victory in a race. Half of the internship experience is what the intern themselves  make it, and how interested they are in engaging with staff and office operations.
