Summer Correspondence Associates Program. Correspondence Associates gain valuable

professional experience while also getting unique insight into the Executive Office of the

President.

Every day, OPC responds to the thousands of letters, e-mails, and phone calls that President

Obama receives. Correspondence Associates are assigned to one of the departments in our

office and are tasked with helping support President Obama’s effort to maintain a dialogue with

the American people. Correspondence Associates may work in:

-Mail Analysis, which replies to correspondence on behalf of the President on issues

ranging from the economy, education, health care, and energy to foreign policy and civil

rights.

- The Agency Liaison office, which works with constituents and federal agencies to

facilitate a resolution to their problems.

- The Writing office, which drafts and produces presidential proclamations, messages and

greetings.

- The White House Comment Line, which provides the President with rapid-fire feedback

from Americans.

- The Gift Office, which documents and catalogues gifts sent to the First Family.

Correspondence Associates serve a minimum of 30 hours per week in the office. The program

lasts from May 29, 2012 through August 10, 2012. Applications are due April 1, 2012.

Applicants should be:
