Nothing compares with the White House Internship program where you can actually witness the daily grind in the White House and gain valuable experience which can help you in your future career. The road to the White House is not an easy one, as there are many vying for this opportunity. The internships are unpaid positions and successful applicants have to find and finance their own housing, yet many are still applying for the White House Internship because they know how it will help them succeed in the future.

Interns are expected to work full-time from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Mondays to Fridays. Those who still have class requirements are given exceptions and are allowed to turn in at least 4.5 days a week to be considered full-time interns.  It’s a challenging experience and if you think you can handle it, then take note of the following Spring 2015 schedule:
