>So, what’s a typical day like for a White House 
>Intern? This is a question  I’m often asked, and 
>the honest answer is that there’s no such thing. 
>The mission of the White House Internship 
>Program is to make the "People’s House" 
>accessible to future leaders from around the 
>nation, and to cultivate and prepare those 
>devoted to public service for future leadership 
>opportunities. To this end, the programs and 
>opportunities of the Internship Program make for 
>days filled with unique learning experiences, 
>thought-provoking conversation, and unforgettable events.
>
>White House Interns work in one of sixteen White 
>House departments  where they conduct research, 
>manage incoming inquiries, attend meetings, 
>write memos and staff events. Some of the 
>offices where they work include the Office of 
>the First Lady, the Office of Scheduling and 
>Advance, the Office of Public Engagement and 
>Intergovernmental Affairs, the Office of the 
>White House Counsel, the National Economic 
>Council, the Office of Communications, the 
>Domestic Policy Council and the Office of Digital Strategy.
>
>In addition to their regular duties, each week, 
>White House Interns hear from senior members of 
>the Administration including the First Lady, the 
>Chief of Staff and the White House Counsel. They 
>meet in small groups to discuss policy issues 
>and take off-site field trips to learn more 
>about Washington, D.C. They participate in 
>service projects at non-profits and schools. Not 
>to mention, they spend three months alongside 
>other Interns who are devoted to public service 
>and with whom they build long-lasting friendships.
>
>Today we open the application for the Summer 
>2012 White House Internship Program. The summer 
>program runs from May 29, 2012 through August 
>10, 2012, and the application deadline is January 22, 2012.

>If you are interested in public service – apply.
