Senator Thune's Internship Program
On behalf of Senator John Thune, thank you for your interest in an internship with one of his offices. The internship program allows students to work in the office they are interested in, and provides them with the opportunity to learn how a Senate office operates. Interns in the state offices participate in state outreach activities, as well as assisting the state staff, while students in the Washington, D.C. office have the opportunity to witness the legislative process, give Capitol tours, and attend Senate votes and hearings. Both in-state and Washington, D.C. internships allow students to work closely with constituents, hone their research skills, and learn a multitude of office skills.
