About This Opportunity

The Congressional Fellowship is a semester-long program offered by Running Start that provides young women with hands-on political experience. Throughout the program, Congressional Fellows learn about politics first-hand from Members of Congress, both in their home District Offices and on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Fellows grow their network of political insiders and understand what it takes to run, win, and serve in elected office. The fellowship is designed for female college juniors, seniors, or recent graduates who have proven motivation in the classroom and involvement in extracurricular activities. The program combines practical experience through a Congressional internship with professional training, including an all-expenses-paid 3-day in-person training session in Washington, DC. Participants receive a $1,000 stipend and gain valuable leadership and professional development opportunities in the field of public service and political science.
