I am currently looking for college and high school level interns who would like to gain valuable work experience in my district office, located in downtown San Jose. These internships provide students with a great opportunity to get involved in State government, develop useful job skills, and even get a head start on a political career.

Students will gain experience in a professional work environment, build their resumes, and have the opportunity to network with professionals in a number of fields. An internship with our office will bridge the gap between the academic study of policy, government, and politics and the practical fields in which those studies can be applied. 

Students will gain a unique understanding of State government by working directly with constituents to help resolve problems with various state agencies. Interns will also assist the district office staff with written communication, including correspondence, reports, and speeches. Interns will also have the opportunity to help organize and participate in outreach events. Interested students are encouraged to contact Melisa Wonch in the district office at (408) 282-8920, or by emailing your resume to melisa.wonch@asm.ca.gov.
