A message from State Rep. Peggy Mayfield:

We are now accepting internship applications for the 2017 legislative session.

The House Republican Internship Program is a unique opportunity to participate in state government at the Indiana Statehouse while gaining hands-on experience. This paid program during the spring semester allows interns to immerse themselves in the legislative process by working directly with state representatives.

Internships are open to college sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates of all majors.

Interns receive a bi-weekly compensation of $700, and can earn college credits and a scholarship. The internship program also offers many networking opportunities and is a great resume builder.

Interns will be placed in one of five departments, including legislative, communications, technology, fiscal policy or policy. 

The application deadline is Oct. 31.
