This is a great opportunity, and thanks for Michael Brown '86 for passing this along. He did an internship in the White House himself after graduation, which he says was a great experience and foot in the door.
Here are a few details from the website:
In addition to normal office duties, interns attend weekly lectures, volunteer at special events, participate in tours, and contribute to a community service project in the Washington, D.C. area. White House Internships are unpaid positions and participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation and housing. Approximately 100 interns are chosen each spring, summer, and fall to participate in this highly competitive program.
Applicants must be:
* At least 18 years of age on or before the first day of the internship
* Enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at a college or university, or graduated the previous semester
* A U.S. citizen
* Applications due October 13, 2006 for Spring 2007 (January 9 to May 11)
* Applications due March 6, 2007 for Summer 2007 (May 22 to August 24)
