Summer 2024
Embarking on a summer internship on Capitol Hill or in a district office? Wondering how that internship will impact your long-term goals?
Wading through 535 Senate and Congressional offices, it’s easy to get lost in the fray. Hours spent in the office shouldn’t define your Washington, D.C., internship. We want to help you make your Summer 2024 experience your own.
The Heritage Foundation is pleased to offer the Summer 2024 Conservative Hill Intern Program (CHIP) – a series of weekly breakfast meetings designed to ground you in the extra knowledge and skills you need for long-term success.
