MCCC Student Intern Program

The MCCC is seeking applicants for the Legislative Internship Program for the Spring 2008 semester. This program provides selected students with an opportunity to learn first-hand about state government and to consider a career in government and politics. MCCC interns have worked at many legislative offices, including those of Senate Majority Whip Joan Menard, Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei, and Second Assistant Majority Leader Byron Rushing.

A $250 grant to underwrite travel and other costs will be awarded to up to 4 interns per semester selected for MCCC sponsorship. MCCC requirements parallel those of the Legislative Education Office (LEO):

Students complete a one-application and also provide a resume, transcript, and writing sample.
Student interns typically will spend a minimum of six weeks in their placement with a suggested schedule of two days and twelve hours per week, but variations on this schedule do exist.
A minimum of 72 hours is required in all, and more hours are encouraged. Indistrict placements are also a possibility, though a State House placement is recommended.
MCCC requires that candidates for consideration have a 3.0 minimum GPA.

This is an excellent opportunity for our MCCC students. Internships can be integrated with Co-operative Work, Directed Study and Community Service Projects for college credit.

MCCC sponsored interns have raved about their State House experiences. Please encourage your students, especially those interested in history or political science, to apply for MCCC's legislative internship program and the accompanying $250 grants, which can be used to underwrite transportation costs and other expenses.

Application materials are available at the website: Application Materials.
