Each semester the White House welcomes over 100 interns into 18 different departments across the Administrations. While each experience is one-of-a-kind, the program maintains the overarching theme of public service. White House Interns agree, sharing their reflections on their truly unique time with the program:
“More than experience in government, this internship is the embodiment of the President's promise to increase civic engagement.”
-White House Office of Legislative Affairs Intern
“I participated in meaningful and fulfilling projects and learned volumes about the many ways the Executive Branch reaches out to communities throughout the United States.”
-White House Communications Department Intern“I return to school this fall eager to find ways to further engage in public service and continue to communicate the efforts of our government to improve lives of everyday Americans. “
-White House Department of Scheduling and Advance Intern
