Indiana House Republicans are on the lookout for student interns to take part in the 2026 legislative session. In a statement obtained by Indiana House Republicans, State Rep. Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo) articulated the need for interns who are eager to engage directly with the workings of state government.
The available positions, described as paid and full-time, are open to a range that includes college students, recent graduates, and also those enrolled in graduate and law programs. VanNatter asserted, "Statehouse internships give students the chance to connect with professionals across many fields and experience state government up close," as mentioned on the Indiana House Republicans website. He urged students to not delay and seize this opportunity.
Internship roles span legislative operations, policy, and communications. Successful applicants will find themselves paired with a staff member, working closely with a designated group of state representatives. This access presents a unique window into the legislative process, offering hands-on experience that's difficult to replicate in traditional classroom settings.
Moreover, the internship encompasses more than day-to-day legislative affairs. Interns can expect to interact with state legislators, state agencies, and private sector organizations, and are also set to participate in a weekly speaker series featuring Indiana's civic leaders.
With the application deadline fast approaching, interested parties are encouraged to apply promptly. More details and application instructions can be found by following the provided link to the Indiana House Republicans' official announcement.
