Press Internship

The Office of Representative Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) is accepting applications for Spring 2025 Press Interns in our Washington, D.C., Reading, and West Chester offices. This internship will run from early January through late May. 

 We offer needs-based stipends to students who are Pell Grant eligible. Our internship program has returned to in-person work with flexible telework options. 

Ideal applicants are adaptable and proactive self-starters who have experience in a faced-paced, deadline-oriented work environment. Applicants must be independent problem-solvers, have strong writing skills, and be comfortable communicating to both internal and external audiences. Technical experience with graphic design tools (Canva, InDesign, Illustrator), photo editing programs (Photoshop, Lightroom), or video editing software (Premiere, Headliner) a major plus. 

Press interns will be responsible for compiling and distributing press clips, helping draft copy for press and digital materials, and developing digital content. Press interns will have the opportunity to staff the congresswoman to capture videos and photos of events. We offer interns the opportunity to see Congress up close and from the inside. Spanish language knowledge is preferred, but not required. Prior volunteer, leadership, and work experience are a plus. Ties to PA-06 are also a plus. 

 To apply, please send 1) a resume, 2) ONE brief paragraph about yourself and why you’re interested in interning in our office, 3) a writing sample, and 4) one example of digital work (video, graphic or photo) to PA06Press.Interships@mail.house.gov. 

Due to a high volume of applicants, you will likely only be contacted if you are selected for an interview. This office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on race, religion, disability, age, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, LGBTQ identification, family status, or military status. Women, people of color, and other members of traditionally underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
