Indiana House Republicans are seeking student interns for the 2026 legislative session, according to State Reps. Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) and Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo).
These paid, full-time internships are open to college students, recent graduates and students in graduate and law school. Karickhoff said the internship is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.
“The House Republican internship offers young Hoosiers the ability to build essential skills for their future careers," Karickhoff said. "With the application deadline quickly approaching, now is the time to seize this exciting opportunity.”
VanNatter said interns will work in the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis full time Monday through Friday during the legislative session, which starts in January and concludes in March.
“Statehouse internships give students the chance to connect with professionals across many fields and experience state government up close," VanNatter said. "With the application deadline coming up soon, I encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity and apply.”
Positions are available in legislative operations, policy and communications.
Karickhoff said interns will be paired with a staff member to work directly with an assigned group of state representatives. During this spring semester internship, students will have opportunities to interact with state legislators, state agencies and private sector organizations, as well as participate in a weekly speaker series featuring Indiana civic leaders.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
