Interns with the HELP Committee Minority gain substantive experience in a Senate office while participating directly in the legislative process. Intern responsibilities include, but are not limited to: assisting Committee staff in performing office duties, conducting research, analyzing legislation, drafting memorandums, and assisting in hearing preparation. Interns play a key role in the office and will work closely with policy advisors and counsels. The HELP Committee works on a wide range of issues in the areas of health, education, labor, disability, pensions, and oversight. 

Qualifications: Applicants should have an interest in fighting together for policies that serve the needs of people across Vermont and the country and a desire to learn. Progressive politics, familiarity with the Ranking Member's legislative priorities, and Vermont ties preferred. More information can be found on the HELP website at: https://www.help.senate.gov/ranking/internships.

All candidates must be able to reside within commuting distance to the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. for the duration of the internship. Due to our current office policy, we expect that interns will work both remotely and in-person. Applicants with disabilities who require reasonable accommodations to participate effectively in the application or hiring processes are encouraged to request an accommodation at any time during those processes. 

This office is an equal opportunity employer; we do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, age, religion, disability, national origin, genetic information, uniformed status, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. People of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, working class individuals, and those from other traditionally underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
