Internship Programs with Maryland State Delegate Alonzo T. Washington

 

 Delegate Alonzo T. Washington Internship Programs 

Through one of two internship programs, students will be placed in leadership positions on Maryland State Delegate Alonzo T. Washington’s Campaign. Delegate Washington has held office since 2012 and proudly represents and serves the residents of District 22. 

Currently, Delegate Washington is offering two internship programs. Both programs will run for about 2 months. They will require students to work 10-15 hours a week, have reliable transportation, and be willing to engage with local community officials, leaders, and residents. 

After the completion of these programs, students will have developed numerous professional skills, been given supervisory leadership roles, and will have gained the experience of contributing to a local Maryland election campaign. Finally, for those who successfully complete the program, Delegate Washington will be open to writing letters of recommendation and may be used as a professional reference.
