The West Virginia Legislature Internship Programs has 51 openings for students to assist specific senators or delegates for one week during the regular 60-day session.
Participants are assigned to a legislator who assists in explaining the legislative process. They attend meetings and public hearings and sit on the floor during daily sessions. They aid legislators with issue research, constituent requests and other tasks.
Eligible students are full-time sophomores through seniors who have had at least one course in government.
