McNerney has openings in his Stockton, Pleasanton and Washington, D.C. offices. Though the internships are unpaid, students can receive course credits through their school for their work.
In the D.C. office, spokeswoman Sarah Hersh said, interns attend Congressional briefings, give tours of the Capitol building, respond to inquiries from people who live in McNerney’s district and help with other office tasks. In the congressman’s Stockton and Pleasanton offices, interns will handle questions from district residents, help staff with office work, answer phones and distribute mail.
Hersh said the office will take applications throughout the year for the internships, and there’s no set deadline. Applications from high school students looking for experience in the Stockton and Pleasanton offices will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Applicants can fax or mail a cover letter and resumé to the appropriate offices. Fax is preferred for the Washington, D.C., office.
