Carefully selected from colleges and universities from around the world, Presidential Classroom Interns gain valuable work experience in a fast-paced and challenging environment, one that puts them in direct contact with students, volunteer instructors and dynamic speakers in the epicenter of American politics, Washington, D.C. Responsibilities include managing the Student Services Office, facilitating the logistics of the program, managing seminars and introducing speakers, among other duties. The position is challenging with hours and experiences beyond the typical nine-to-five workday.
At Presidential Classroom, students from the United States and abroad examine the federal government beyond the marble buildings.
