2017-18 Schatz Seniors High School Senior Internship Program

The Schatz Seniors high school internship program provides a hands-on learning opportunity about the U.S. Senate and encourages students to be leaders and advocates in their schools and communities.

Activities

• Working with Senator Schatz’s Outreach Staff
• Identifying issues of interest in their schools and communities
• Attending and staffing special events

This is not an office position and students should miss little or no class time performing the tasks or assignments related to the program.  The program uses online tools and communication methods, including weekly video conferences, so students from all islands are encouraged to apply.  The internship generally runs from October - April, and interns must commit for the full term.

Private, public, charter, and homeschool seniors may apply. Students must have a GPA of 2.5 or better and personal access to email throughout the internship.

Application
