Upon acceptance into the program, these students begin their prestigious internship within the halls of the Maryland State House, the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use in the nation.

During the 90-day session, interns not only gain exposure to the daily operations of a legislative office, but witness history in the making as they develop a deeper understanding of Maryland’s democratic process through a variety of impactful work and experiences.
