The White House Internship Program is a government internship program that enables students and graduates to work at the
White House.
Program overview
The White House Internship Program was unpaid until 2022,[1][2][3] when President
Joe Biden signed a
bipartisan spending bill that set aside $4.5 million to pay White House interns.[4] Interns must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age, and must be either a current student, recent graduate, or veteran of the
United States Armed Forces.[5] Those selected for the program are able to work in one of sixteen available
presidential departments.[6]
The White House Internship Program is split into three semester seasons: summer, fall, and spring.[7]
In addition to the opportunity to work in the
Executive Office of the President, the White House Internship Program also includes a speaker series, tours to sites around
Washington, D.C., opportunities to volunteer in the community, and attendance at special events.[8]
